Summer Shananigins

Too much to blog about...life around here has been very busy. Lots of sun, family fun and travel. Life is GOOD!

We went to the Fire Hall for a field trip last week

We packed the van and headed to Omaha last weekend to spent time my family and attend my 10 year high school reunion. The drive never gets easier, or shorter!, and this time the boys seemed to struggle more than on past trips. About south St. Paul Liam pulled on his car seat straps and said, "Mommy, I'm ready to get out!" Ugh, we had 6 more hours to go!

Friday morning we(Mary, Mark, Kurt, the Knutson kids, and our family) went to the Henry Doorly Zoo. The boys had a blast running from place to place for about 2 hours. We saw the elephant(they were so excited bc they have never seen a real elephant), sea lions, flamingos, gorillas, a white tiger, and polar bears. Their favorite by far-the aquarium with penguins, sharks and jelly fish and the crocodile cave. Dan spent the evening with the boys at the Claussens while I attended the "Girls Only" outing of the reunion. Saturday morning Dan golfed with my dad and I took the boys to see my Grandma. We skated that afternoon then Dan and I dropped the kids at my parents and went to the second night of reunion festivities(I'll have you know I am tied for 2nd for 'most kids'!!) Sunday we drove back, again it was terrible on the boys, but we arrived home safely!
