Summer Excursions

Week 1 of summer vacation is complete.  We visited the YMCA, library, splash park, and the MN Zoo.  Busy and enjoyable.  Well, as enjoyable as could be with a 2-year old and a 4-year old.  The adjustment of not going to daycare seemed like Armageddon some days.  We survived.  Aidan is much better this week, Aubrey is a typical 2-year old.

We also enjoyed spending some quality time with my friend Annie and her family. It blows my mind when I think about how long I've known Annie. We met in preschool when we were 4 years old. That's Aidan's age! Annie and Brian also have two kids, Avery (2 1/2) and Quinn (8mos.). Aidan LOVED playing with Avery. He was so sad that they couldn't have another playdate soon. Maybe when we go visit Nana and Poppa in July...

Here are some shots of the fun we had during our first week of summer.

Going for a tic-tac-toe, but Aubrey popped her head out as I snapped the picture.

GO SEE THE DINOSAURS!  They are COOL!

Which is scarier?  The dinosaur, Aidan, or Aubrey's "cheese" face?

The newest addition to our backyard.  A dinosaur SANDBOX!
