BWCA Trip

Here are some of my favorite pictures from my recent Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) trip. Jennie and I joined a guided trip that took us through Ely, MN to the Echo Trail, where we started at entry point #14, Little Indian Sioux River (north). We camped on Shell Lake and visited nearby Little Shell, Heritage and Lynx lakes. It was fantastic being out in the wilderness.

We've been busy enjoying the warm weather and getting outside. Since school is out for the summer, Sophie attended a half day Abrakadoodle art camp. She was a little weary at first, but then loved it. She's already signed up for another art camp later this summer.

One of the things I love about summer are the art fairs that happen at least a few times a month. We kicked off the art fair season by going to the Edina Art Fair, at 50th and France. I wore one of the kids on my back the entire time, good practice for my upcoming Boundary Waters camping trip.

At the art fair, we stopped at Sweet Retreat to try  some of their delicious cupcakes. Jack loved it!

Here's a picture of Jack's new haircut and his shades.

To celebrate Grandma Linda's birthday, we went strawberry picking!

Here's a picture of us at Nickelodeon Universe. The kids love going on rides.

April & May 2012

It's been a couple of busy months in the Hanson household. We've been playing outside, going to the water park and keeping busy with Spring and Summer activities. For Easter, Bryan and the kids went to Bemidji to celebrate with family. We've had outings to the Minnesota Children's Museum, the Minnesota Zoo and of course, our annual pilgrimage to Omaha for the BRK shareholders meeting. The past week has welcomed a number of new babies into the world, including baby Brecker Nelson and Alice Hanson. Can't wait to meet them!

Jack loves to ride on Daddy's tractor and talks about mowing the lawn every day.
