Minneapolis 5-10

The first weekend after school got out, we took off for the twin cities. Chris not only let us stay at his house AND borrow his tent, he also let us put up the tent INSIDE the house (it didn't really fit). It was a super fun weekend, and we got to do lots of things, like the Mall of America, swimming, sailing, and more swimming. Here is a video of the kids swimming at Lake Nokomis with Joe's dog Stella:

Mall of America 5-10

Boba Fett the bounty hunter...made out of legos. Rad.



The whole point of our trip to Minneapolis was to see Legoland, which Cook had earned as a reward for reading so many books during the school year. Legoland and the amusement park at the Mall of America were such a hit that we had to go back a second time before we left the cities, and they had so much fun AGAIN!!


The butterfly room was awesome - I had no idea it would be that great....we spend a LONG TIME in there. Cook liked to pick them up on his finger or on a leaf. Ama just liked to lay on the floor and look at them.
