Cotton Candy - Fuzz you can Eat!

These were Owen's words as he ate cotton candy for the first time at the Steele County Free Fair. A pretty apt description, I would say.

Owen had a great time. So great, in fact, that his "fingers were dancing." He's a fan of rides, polka music, and all the animals in the barns. On the way home, we did one last ride - the ponies, which apparently made Owen sleepy. Every time his pony came around we yelled and clapped, trying to keep him from falling asleep and off!

Hello again - Mom, dad, Darcie, JJ, Owen and I went on a family vacation to Birch Haven resort outside of Bemidiji this past week. Much fun and fishing was had by all. Owen caught his first fish, mom went on her first kayak ride, Darcie and JJ almost finished the world's hardest puzzle and dad cleaned fish like a pro.
