We like it HOT!

Heat, heat, heat...we here at the Lokken house love it!  Well that is until a quick wind storm came Tuesday night and knocked down a tree that knocked down a power line that knocked out the power for 12 hours!  Well we survived with everything closed up.   The next morning, still no power so instead of watching cartoons the girls watched traffic out the front door!
The tree was still laying in the road the next morning too, even after they sawed, and sawed and sawed all NIGHT long.
On Thursday we finally finished the 2nd round of swimming lessons! 
Yeah so happy to be done for the year!


 Cambree and Makyah are both very strong swimmers and amaze me with their swimming bravery and skills! They both love to swim so much. We are very proud of them!



On Friday afternoon the girls got out the kool-aid stand and set it up at the end of the driveway.  They had one biker stop who paid a $1 for a cup and them, Mom, Dad, Kyah and Cams all took turns buying a cup for a quarter each.  That  made $2 total profit...well kind of:) At least they had fun!

On Saturday we went to Cal's company picnic in Menomonie in Wakanda Park. 
(Cambree took a shot of herself!)


 They had 3 giant inflatables for the kids, and all sorts of school supplies they could pick from.


 We had a team scavenger hunt where we had to find things in the park and take a picture.
  Here Cambree is at one of the objects.


 Makyah taking a break looking at the next object on the list.


 Cambree manipulating her dad into carrying her because she was tired!
 (Whats new?)


 Then we got to go swim at the Wakanda Pool and make sand art!



 Kyah going down the slide!


 Relaxing in the sun.


 Thanks Fairmont Minerals we had a fun day!


 On Sunday we drove over to Woodbury to celebrate cousin Cody's 4th Birthday.
Spiderman was the theme!


 Everyone even got a ride on his cool john deer.

 Happy 4th Birthday Cody! 

Well we are off to another busy week!  Let the hot days continue!
Love, The Lokkens
