Boys at Goose Lake Fishing

We took the boys over to Goose Lake fishing a few times this week. They each casted their lines a few times, but nothing compared to them chasing the minos in the bucket! Paul caught a very small fish that he threw back, but the boys sured yelled with excitiment when daddy caught the fish! Such a wonderful time!!

Minnesota Zoo

What a fun-filled day at MN zoo!!! We started in the Tropics Trail and saw the cuttest Red Panda, otters, seals, snow monkeys, Komodo Dragon, Camels, Tigers, Gibbons,and tons more. The walk through each trail was awesome being surrounded by trees and all the different animals to enjoy along the trails. We took the free tractor ride over to the Family Farm, where the boys fed goats and sheep and saw some huge cows. They even had a tractor sitting out for kids to climb on. Tyler and Trevor spotted that right away!

We had a great picinic lunch and headed out to more trails. One of the neatest animals to watch were the bears and the boys had fun pulling grass to feed the prairie dogs. Towards the end of the trail they had a fun woodland adventure area with water gysers for kids to play in. The boys had a blast running through the water....

It was a perfect day and everyone had SO much fun!!!!! Trevor fell asleep as soon as we got him settled in the van. Tyler tried so hard to stay awake and finally fell asleep just a few miles from home.... We all will sleep great tonight after that LONG hike!!!

Children's Science Museum

We had a great time at the Children's Science Museum!!!!!

SHRINE CIRCUS

Grandma Nancy, Paul, me and the boys went to the Shrine Circus today. We all had so much fun!!!!! Daddy and Tyler rode on an elephant!!! and Tyler rode on a camel all by himself!!!!!! He was SO excited and we were so shocked that he was ok with riding alone!!! After his ride he was grinning ear to ear and was so excited... Trevor had no desire to ride on the elephant or the camel. He was very excited about going on a pony ride- but as soon as he got on he wanted to get off.... The boys were so well-behaved and sat through the whole cirucs! For most of the car ride home Trevor talked about the elephants and wanted to go back to the cirucs. Tyler was fast asleep by the time we hit forest lake. What a wonderful day!!!!!

Moose Mountain and Rides at Mall of America

We had a fun-filled day at Mall of America. Moose Mountain golfing was a blast! The boys loved miniture golfing and did all 18 holes! Then we hit tons of rides. The boys are finally 36" tall, so they can go on more of the rides. Trevor went on the log ride with daddy!!!! I was worried that he might start crying being he has never been on a roller coaster ride before like this.... but he was thrilled!!! As soon as the ride ended, he wanted to go again!! What a brave little guy... And Trevor also went on the new Wonder Pet fly boat! He loved it!!!

We saw spongebog and Diego today. Uncle Pat was dressed as Spongebob, so that was very neat!!!!

Play Date FUN!!!!

What a wonderful playdate at our friend Korey's house! 11 moms + 16 kids (3 sets of twins!)+2 dogs = A WHOLE TON OF FUN!!! It was a blast and all the kids played like crazy!!! It was so adorable watching all the boys gather by the side of the garage and play in a rock pile. Tyler loved the plastic wheel barrow and started to move rocks to other parts of the yard. It was a wonderful day!!
