May and June 2016

May was fun and exciting!  Hana had her first ever public speaking report.  It was about pandas and she did a great job.  Lots of practice helped and she didn't seem very nervous at all!  She also had her kindergarten "Moosical" to close out her first year at Greenwood.  It was a fun show and she was a goat! 

Then we headed to Iowa (with a stop in Minneapolis for lunch with aunt Gayle and uncle John) for Glenn's birthday and Erika's graduation from Luther College.  It was quite a fun weekend and most of the family was able to come!

Then, the next weekend, Gayle and John came to Colorado for a visit.  They spent time with mom (who is not doing so well) and we did some fun things too... Bruno's for dinner (of course) and some site seeing around town!  It was nice to spend time with them again!

 

 

June has been busy, with Knute's annual fishing trip to Canada with hjs dad and the Balk's and his college friend Bruce, etc...  They had fun, as always! 

 

 

 

Then, we were off to Las Vegas (my first time!) for a short family vacation.  It was HOT!!  No wonder if was cheap!  But we had a blast.  Hana enjoyed 4 of the 5 swimming pools (and 3 hot tubs) and we took Knute to a nice brunch for Father's Day and The Blue Man Group that evening.  That was a BLAST!!  All in all it was a great day and a fun weekend.  We also really enjoyed the water fountain show at the Bellagio hotel. 

 



Hana is finishing out the month at Rainbow Trail Lutheran day camp at Bethany (as she's done the past two summers as well).  But the most exciting new happened last night when she lost her 2nd tooth!!  Well, it was actually the 3rd loose tooth, but the second one has been pushed forward by her other new tooth that decided not to wait to come in.  Hopefully there will be room for #2 (3) to fall out!!  She was pretty excited and the tooth fairy came last night.  She was less impressed with the dollar she received for this tooth, than she was for the $5 she left for her very first tooth.  Rough!  :-)
