This weekend Bob and I will be going to a summer camp fair; many different summer camps in the area attend this fair and pass out brochures about their camps. Kiersten usually picks four or five day camps to attend during the summer, it is a great way to keep her busy and learning during her time off. We have one camp picked out so far that I found online, it is at the local humane society. They spend a week doing activities related to animals and learning about careers that are animal related. She is very excited for this one:)
We are also going to watch my sister Jessica do the "Polar Plunge" for the Special Olympics on Saturday. It is an event where they raise money for the charity then jump into one of our Minnesota lakes....BRRR! It should be a fun time:)

Hello and welcome to the Rades Family blog. For those of you that are new to our family, it consists of myself, my husband Bob and my step-daughter Kiersten. I am at work right now so I don't have any current photos to upload with this post; so I posted a picutre of a chicken. I didn't know that chickens could look like this:) Kiersten would love to have chickens as a pet, but we drew the line at a dog a lizzard and a fish. I will be sure to post a photo of the family next time.
This weekend is Valentines Day and the three of us are going out for lunch together on Saturday. Kiersten just finished a French language unit in school and we are taking her to a French restaurant to try her new skills. It should be fun! On Sunday, Bob and Kiersten have some daddy/daughter time planned. They will be going fly fishing for carp, Bob wants her to catch a big one. I will not be going fishing...at least not until it gets a little warmer. Its hard to read a book with mittens on:)
