The Froehlich's: Founders Day in Algona

Last weekend Pat and I went to Founder's Day in Algona to get together with his family and also attend Pat's 20 year class reunion. It was a great time-most of Pat's family made it and Olivia had a blast getting together with her cousins. For the reunion, we went downtown Friday night and had drinks with his class; Saturday morning he golfed with his brothers, Dad, and some classmates; Saturday at lunch we had a family picnic with his class; and Saturday night we were supposed to have gone downtown for a dinner but we skipped that at the last minute-the Froehlich's were having a bonfire with smores & hotdogs so we opted for the family time instead. It was a relaxing evening!

Elmo's got some competition-Olivia found Minnie Mouse at Grandma's and that's all she talks about now. Every time the computer's up, we have to watch "Nahnny Nouse"

Olivia on the train ride-seems too little to be on by herself (or maybe just to me) but she did just great & if the line wasn't down the block we would have gone again and again.

I didn't catch it with my camera, but at times she was waving to the crowds as she went by them.

Olivia giving Jack a big hug. She called him "Buddy" all weekend. One morning at 5 AM I brought her in bed with me and as we were lying there, she asked, "Where Buddy go?" I just love listening to everything she has to come up with!

Olivia got a ride from Grandpa Froehlich in his jeep!

Andy and Molly competed in the Water's Edge Triathlon Sunday morning. They both did outstanding. Molly got 2nd place for women, and Andy came in 15th overall.
