Preschool!

Lance went to preschool today.  He is a Dakota Cougar and he really likes his teacher, Ms. Kretz.  Roman was wishing he could stay in preschool too!  

Lance's cubby

See my name tag!

Roman is riding home alone!

Lance's art projects- a school bus twinkie, a cookie on a stick, a friends wreath, and a Lance!

Dakota Homecoming Parade

Today was the Dakota homecoming parade.  It goes right down Heydenreich, so we sat in our backyard and watched it go by- and the kids got a bunch of candy that they threw!

Thomas!!!!

Today we went to Crossroads Village or Huckleberry Railroad to see Thomas the Train.  It was a Larger-Than-Life experience.  Lance and Roman were thrilled, but we had a blast too!  Check out that train!

Playing at Metro Beach

Today we went with our moms group to Metro beach.  We played on the jungle Gym for awhile, then headed over to the splash pad for some water fun.  

Great Lakes Steamers

The Great Lakes Steamers are a group of train aficionados that run their 1/8 scale trains ina park in Royal Oak.  The tracks are a permanent addition to the park and have been there since the early 1980s.  The first weekend of every month in the summer, they run the trains and allow people to ride on them for free, although they accept donations.  We had a blast!  The yellow one looked like a diesel, while the blue one, Lance's favorite, was a real steamie with a real firebox that the engineer shoveled coal into!  It was awesome.  We must have ridden at least 5 times!

Another Loon-y Game!

Our first Loons game of the year!  I don't even remember what the score was, but I think the Loons lost.  Either way, we had a great time.  Check out the balloon hats the boys got, and the fireworks after the game.  Thanks to Grandma and grandpa Holman for such a nice time!

Dr. Evil

Look at my Crazy HAT!

Todd and Moose in front of the Sausage Shack- I'm sure the attendants get this all the time...

Roman in his hat.

"My new invention... hot dog-on-a-stick!"

"Hey, YOU!  That's MY hotdog-on-a-stick idea!!!"

A Special Lunch

Today was a special day- we ate macaroni and cheese for lunch. Why was it so special? because it was made by LANCE! That's right, he made us all lunch. and it was delicious.
