Summer is here...sort of.

We had a great birthday! We got lots of clothes and books, and Mommy made us strawberry cupcakes from scratch. We thought they were really neat! We have been spending a lot of time at the lakes of Custer State Park. There are 5 to swim at, and, although they are still cold, it doesn't stop us from splashing around and playing in the sand. We've been going to Mommy & Me every Tuesday morning, which has been moved to the park for the summer. Thursday a few of us get together at one of the lakes. Here are some recent photos:
