Busy week!

Our week started with the last soccer game of the season. USA (blue) vs Mexico (green). Sadly USA lost 2vs3 and one of Team USA's goal was made by a green jersey. Better luck next year year guys! Ulrika came from Sweden for her 20 year highschool reunion. Last time she visited, she and Indy did not hit it off. Or I should say that she was deathly afraid of Indy as he would stalk her and when he found her he would hiss and growl. This time they became friends and there was no hissing. He did, however, pee in Tim's suitcase. I guess that is how he directed his frustrations. We took Rika to Stewart Lake for a dip to cool down. She was a little warm, a guess it does not get to 85° in Sweden. I was pleasantly surpised how nice and clean Stewart lake is. A great place to take the kids to cool down. The lake is spring fed....and that water is super cold. So Peter decided to see how cold Jamison could get. Tim also was in town for the same reunion and had a nice time catching up with Pat and Rika. I love Rika's expression....oh dear....goofy american brothers. "What is Uncle Tim doing?" says Jamison. That is an iron. Watch closely boys, you will never see your mother doing that. Or atleast i hope to never have to do that.
In all of the crainess Wini busted into my container of camping rations. I came home to see Wini rolling and snorting the powder from the deck. Never thought my dog would eat powdered pancake mix. This picture is VERY disturbing. After the reunion events we took Rika up to the cabing for some north woods fun. Bike riding, boat riding, pug riding rock hunting and the list goes on. We even got the F-16 kite flying from behind the boat. all was good until we hear "mayday mayday" calls from the pilot right before he took a nose dive into the water. The pilot was able to eject from the seat, dry off and try again. Sadly, he had the same fate. Nose dive into the water. Maybe he needs more training. The boys really liked grandma's new waterfall. They had a good time looking for the amethyst and other fun rocks. A weekend cant be complete without a dip in the hot tub. Thanks Rika, we had a blast! Thanks for the visit!
