Gunderson Adventures.... where all 6 of Us live life to the fullest!

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit us this week! Andrew and Micah always love to jump in bed with grandma and grandpa when they wake up in the morning. I can still hear them singing songs and laughing as they roll around in bed together. Mom and dad were introduced to the Wiggles videos for the first time! Mom said she still has "BBQ on the Beach" in her head! We had such a fantstic week together. As the days continued we got into a fun routine of piling into Grandpas truck and taking off to go on a boat ride and picnic at our own private island! This was really fun as no one else was around and we could go swimming and picnic all by ourselves! One island we really liked was called MIO Beach. While Grandpa was with us we had him help us with some much needed yard work. Kyle and dad worked hard but also found time to go fish for Walleye. They say they caught close to 50 walleye together total! Mom and I were so impressed. Grandma is always helpful in the kitchen and looking for

We had a blast with Nana and GG this summer while we were down in the cities and at the cabin. The boys and I had a great time at the Annual July 4th party at the cabin with some good friends from our previous youth ministry church in Maple Grove. We also had fun going to parks, out to ice cream and sliding down the ever famous water slide Nana purchased for us last summer! The boys continue to talk about Nana's glorious slide! Nana and GG are so special to our boys. Micah talks about GG while swinging at the park or at supper time with us! Drew always loves his nana and enjoys eating Power Bars with her when he has a chance. Though we will miss our Nana as she headed out to Denver Seminary for one last semester, we are cheering her on from the sidelines. Christmas will be our next visit with Nana and we can't wait for that great moment! Nana we are so proud of YOU! Enjoy the pictures of us enjoying our Nana and GG this summer!

Today we had a chance to spend the entire day together as a family. We started by heading out of town to a river for some hiking, rock throwing, and a picnic lunch. This took the entire morning and was well wortht the 40 mile drive to see the boys fall in the river as they enjopyed throwing the rocks. After our return trip home we all took a well needed afternoon nap and slept like rocks. Micah woke us up with his familiar call for "juice". In the evening we had a short family walk to the grocery store, time in the new front yard swing, and of course filled our evning watching the Olympics. Andrew and Micah love the water sports, swimming and diving are just the greatest to them. What a day! Make sure to watch the video above of the WACKY swing!

This summer we have enjoyed spending time with grandma and grandpa. Andrew gives grandma and grandpa lots of high fives saying "Buddies Forever!" Grandma and Grandpa return the saying and get the biggest smile. It is so fun to see how Drew and Micah bring so much joy to their grandma and granpa's life. We are so thankful for the many ways they continue to create such great memories for our boys. Here are some pics of the boys with grandma and grandpa!

Andrew had a blast this morning finger painting! Can you tell what his favorite color is? Have a great day!

Micah is always teaching Anna and I how to laugh in what could be seen as stressful times. He also taught us that there is more than one way to eat jello. Here are a few photos of how Micah ate his dessert last night!

Our little niece Kaylee May was born last Tuesday July 29th! She is so precious to us already! Andrew and Micah are excited to have a new cousin!
