Father's Day - Dog Park & Linden Hills

For Father's day we took Cosmo to a dog park near the house. It was different than most, it had trails through the woods....Cosmo loved it. So did the kids.

After that we went to Olivia's dance class downtown and then the Minneapolis Central Public Library. We spent a few hours checking out books for the kids, then headed to Linden Hills for dinner and ice cream at Sebastian Joe's.




Another Great Father's Day!!

Wildlife Nature Reserve

Saturday we went to the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. We stopped in the visitor center to borrow some binoculars and we were able to see a ton of birds at the feeders right out side the window. We then headed out to the overlook to check out the view and use the telescope.

We decided to hike down one of the trails. Along the walk we found an interesting swamp, with some frogs, and some fallen trees. Miriam and the kids decided to climb on the logs and see if they could make it all the way across...
Isaac almost made it all the way across......but then he slipped and fell in!


After that we headed home cleaned up and headed to Norah's Birthday party at the Como Zoo. We got a personal tour of the aquatic center and the Polar bear exhibit.

St. Paul Saints Game w/ Protiviti

On Sunday, we took the kids to the St. Paul Saints game. The whole office was there too, so the kids got to meet all of the Protivti people. The kids had fun tailgating with the office. And after the game they got to do down on to the field, run the bases and get autographs signed by the players.
Just a few more pictures....

Chula Vista Waterpark

On the way back from Michigan we stopped in the Wisconsin Dells. They have about 6-8 water parks there. We tried one we had not been to before called Chula Vista. We had a great time and the weather was great so we actually spent more time in the outdoor water park, which was a nice change!
We did not take a ton of pictures, snce the kids are old enough now to down the slides. So here are a few....

Natania & Jeff's Wedding




Well, the whole reason we even went to Michigan was Natania and Jeff were getting married!




The ceremony and reception were both incredible. Isaac and Olivia were in the wedding as the ring bearer and flower girl and both did a great job.




Oh, they had a cool wedding cake too

Visiting our Friends while in town

On Saturday we met Tiffany and her family at IHOP for breakfast after which the kids played a bit on the lawn, blowing bubbles and climbing trees.
Then we headed to the Birmingham Fair and met Noah, Carson, Luke, Meredith, Michaela and Julia. It was hot!!! 97 degrees hot! We rode some rides played some games of chance and drank a lot of $6 Lemonade....
Monday we stopped by our old neighborhood. We saw the new owners of our old house (they took us for a tour) and our old neighbors, Rebbecca and her family!

It was great to see them again and catch up.

See a few more pictures here.

Our 2 Day Drive to Michigan

Thursday afternoon after Isaac's end of year party we hopped in the car to start our drive to Michigan. We stopped "a few" times along the way.



A few highlights from the two day journey:
"Oinks" in New Buffalo, MI - Miriam quickly pulled over when we saw this place. We could not pass it up. "Over 3000 pieces of pig paraphernalia". It makes Grandma Hillary's pig collection look amateur.





St. Josephs, MI - beach and fountain. The kids played in the fountain, we had a picnic and then played in the sand and the lake. We had previously stopped here back in August of 2009 on our way back from Chicago. See that blog entry here.



Friday night we stopped at Olga's for dinner before arriving at Lita's around 9PM.

Memorial Day Weekend

All in all, a pretty calm holiday weekend, we did not do too much. We finished up a few projects around the house(see earlier blog entry), went for a nature walk, played in the sprinklers, broke out the grill and had the Dunbars over for dinner, Isaac and I went to Kung Fu, went to see Kung Fu Panda 2, began packing for our trip to Michigan and Olivia had a dance class. Here are some more pictures and a short video from the nature walk.
