Summer Fun

I was home with the boys again this summer and besides running them to all their camps and such, we did some fun outings too.

We had our annual day at Valleyfair with the Middendorfs. Here are Fred and the boys after completing the roller coaster circuit.

The boys and I made it to the newly remodeled Sculpture Garden in Minneapolis. Our new favorite - the big blue chicken.

After the sculpture garden we tried "Milkjam Creamery" for fun ice cream. Yum!

Gavin and Wyatt got to work their ninja skills at Obstacle Academy in Edina. Hunter - an american ninja warrior who made it to Stage 3 on the show, was their instructor. They loved it!

Jacob and Wyatt and I made it to a ski show in Shakopee. Gavin had already started football practice, so he couldn't come with us.

Fred got tickets to a Twins game last minute - maybe due to the threat of rain. We went to the stadium, but they ended up postponing the game. At least it was $1 dog night and we enjoyed a baseball park meal before heading back home.

We upgraded from camping to "glamping" this year with the Blommels and Michaels. We rented an awesome house by Annadale for the long weekend. The kids had a great time playing games, fishing, swimming, and watching movies. The adults had a great time playing a little tippy cup and catchphrase and just hanging out.
