Bryant Lake Beach

 

 

We headed to the beach yesterday with the Cagles. Everyone had a blast in the clear lake waters at Bryant Lake which is surrounded by lovely houses in the suburb of Eden Prairie. The kids chilled while Arianna tugged them along on the fish floatie and we all marveled at Ariannas new swimming skills. Impressive. We hobnobbed with likes of Ian Leonard who I am now on a first name basis with. I actually have a history of meeting weatherman, I must send out a come hither vibe to meteorologist as they are my only star sightings. Prior to Ian, I knew Ken Barlow. You know you are jealous.

 

 

 

 

We had a great time visiting Fond du Lac. We took the kids canoeing/paddleboating for the first time and they did great! Uncle Brendan came along for the fun. It ended in an intense paddle splashing which we all appreciated since it was quite hot. We also enjoyed many dance shows by Piper as Brendan played the piano. Finally, the kids met their cousin Declan who is 18 months old and also lives in Fond Du Lac.

We have been loving Jen being on maternity leave, it is great to see her more often. Evie is getting huge!

Rookie of the Year!!!

 

 

 

Chris, of course, won an award tonight for "Rookie of the Year", he was one of 5 nominees. In his nomination it was not even mentioned that Chris held a window (19 stories high) at Centre village during a severe windstorm, while directing fire and policemen on how to handle the situation. Nor did they mention how Chris, in a suit, ripped insulation from a chiller to help contractors fix the chillers for residents. They DID mention how within a few months of starting at Gittleman Chris was put in charge of multimillion dollar projects at multiple sites. Way to go Chris!!! We are sooooo proud of you!!!
