06.27.2009 A day at sea

What a great time we had on Dad's boat on Saturday! With this crazy New England weather it's been almost impossible to plan anything outside. Even though rain was in the forecast we decided to give it a try. It turned out to be a beautiful morning! Dani got to drive the boat, in circles of course. She's a crazy driver!
Uncle Jimma showed her how to use a fishing rod. And we had a crazy sea adventure too! Captain Papa went over some huge waves and one came right over the boat and soaked us all! Dani was shocked at first, but then we started laughing. It took a while to dry off, but all in all it was a great day at see, sir!


I love my Daddy

06.23.2009 Babi's Birthday Parade

When we found out that Babi's was working all day on her birthday we were so bummed.
Danika and I thought it might me a good idea to make cupcakes and a sign for her and bring them to her work. As the day went on our plan got more elaborate. Dani did a great job helping me make the cupcakes, she mixed, poured, stirred and even decided to add mini chocolate chips.

When they were finished and cooled she added the pink frosting (it had to be pink for Babi, she insisted), a Hersey Kiss to the top and sprinkled it with chocolate sprinkles and red, pink and white hearts. I have to say they looked great! Then Dave and Danika practiced playing there instruments (Dani on the kazoo, Davie on the flute, and me on the cow bell) , we learned the happy birthday song real fast. After adding a dance/march route we were set to go. Boy was Babi surprised when we came thru the door!
Happy Birthday, Babi!

We love you.

What a great adventure we had at the Mooseman Tri!
We got to spend the weekend and enjoy some beautiful weather. Danika had a great time playing in the lake the day before the race. She just loves sand and water.
The lake was just gorgeous. This fresh water lake in pristine Newfound Lake, one of the cleanest lakes in the world.
It was a bit cold for my liking at 62 degrees, but Dani and Patrik didn't seems to mind.

Patrik did so well in the race. It was his longest race so far for the year. We were so proud cheering him on! After the race, we got to visit my Uncle Billy who lives a few miles away.
I haven't seen him in years, so it was a great visit and so nice to see him again. Cousin Heather and Jenn were there too and Jenn's two kids Meagan and Devin. Danika had a great time playing with Meagan's old toys and watching tv with Devin.
