HUGE Update! Here's what's been going on for the past 3 weeks.


Before Kellie left to move to Red Wing, we took Sarah on a tour of St. Cloud, we're at Munsinger Gardens by the Mississippi river.


The 10th Street bridge.


The walking path underneath Highway 23 in downtown St. Cloud.


Sarah and Kellie behind a tree!


Lately Tyler, Eli and I have started doing model rocket launches. Here's one of the first ones we did. This one lasted almost 7 launches which is still a record for us.


...3...2...1...


And it's gone!


We found all the pieces of the rocket!


On June 3rd, Eli and I went to Tech to do photography for the Graduation party.


This guy kept us company.


Before going to launch a rocket, Tyler and Eli decided it would be a good idea to change the oil on our cars. ...It didn't work out very well...

It's been a while.


I haven't updated in a while, but here's some of the things I've done since last update. On Wednesday we planted a tree in Tyler's front yard.


TEAMWORK!


This is one of my favorite picture of Tyler's cats.


Later on Wednesday we went to Green Mill for some pizza and wings.

On Friday night I went to a bonfire at Eli's parent's house.

Yipes!


Tuesday night was a VERY interesting night... First of all we decided to go to Pizza Hut for some Stuffed Crust Pizza. We went, we ate, it was a happy night. Then we decided we would leave Eli's house and take a walk.......


While we were on our walk we heard a lound SMASH sound. As we walked closer we saw that a car had drove onto the railroad and was stuck!

This isn't some side spur or anything, this was the main railway. We're talking about a train every five or ten minutes.

We ran over to help get the car off the track. Eli, Tyler, and I pushed while the driver drove in reverse. She totally floored it and rocks came flying at our legs. Eli was hit in the shin by one of the flying rocks but was okay. The car eventually was back on the road but it had sustained some major damage. (The bumper was almost falling off, there was surely some damage to the underside of the engine, and the driver-side front tire was flat.) Apparently unaware of these problems, the car drove around the block and onto another road.

About five minutes after we got the car out, a Westbound train came barreling through the intersection. SCARY. This picture was taken as we quickly crossed a busy street after getting the car back on the road.
