We spent one more weekend in Brookings before heading down to Houston on Aug. 4. I bravely made the four-hour drive from Grand Forks to Brookings with three kids - Misha, Sebby, and Nara. Then I set them loose upon Grandma and Grandpa. Tanya, Aaron, and Harry joined us the next day. The weekend was filled with all the things the kids love - biking and frog catching on the bike trail, unicycling and triking in the alley, playing games in the house, going fishing, drawing with chalk, eating hot dogs, visiting the Kids' Museum, playing at the park, eating waffles, and enjoying a Taco John's picnic on campus at Sylvan Green. Take a look!

I'm glad the boys were able to spend a good amount of time with there grandparents and aunt and cousins. Looks like everyone was having so much fun.
