Our happenings...

So I should catch up on a few of our adventures...

A few weeks ago we went to see Cars 2, the theater near us is only $5 if you go before 11:30, so we did. Tanner liked it, but he keeps talking about the american spy car that was killed. It was a little more James Bond and politically laced than I thought it should be, but it was alright. Anyway, we had lunch, then headed to the Como Zoo,
Sorry, not many pictures from the zoo, but Kate would say "those big yucky fish"... a girl after my own heart, and phobias.

We have been swimming at the gym, a lot. Just trying to stay cool...

Then we went to Lake Johanna last Saturday (4th of July weekend). It was lots of messy sandy fun. Tanner was desperately trying to catch a minnow, but they evaded his cunning attempts. He looks like he is posing. Too funny. I think we will go back. It was great. Well, until Tanner's beach ball blew out into the middle of the lake and ruined his day forever. oh well.

On the 4th, we went strawberry picking again because we had run out. It was fun. They were awesome again.

It was fun to get out into the country again...

On our way back we drove over to the Afton Alps ski resort nearby... the have like 18 chairlifts or something, but it would appear that they just have one for every run...

Later we had a neighborhood barbeque... The kids got nasty sandy again.

and on to the fireworks...

We went downtown Minneapolis, to the Stonearch Bridge over the Mississippi. Lots of people, but lots of fun. This is how the kids watched the fireworks...

You can see this bridge glowing behind us in the picture above. It is the bridge that collapsed a few years ago... don't know if you remember... anyway, it was lit up in red, white, and blue. It looked cool. You can't tell from my picture, sorry. But that big brown box of a building in the background is Cory's school.

We have been trying to get out and do things every Saturday, so I will try to get to yesterday's activities soon. Anyway, we just want to enjoy what Minnesota has to offer in the summer! If you have anything you think we should hit, let me know, I will add it to the list!

As always, thanks for stopping by!
