Saturday Ventures...

We have been surprising Tanner with our Saturday activities, last week we went to the Air Expo at Fort Snelling on Saturday. It was cool, Tanner has been obsessed with fighter jets since he found a book about them in the library. He liked them before, but now it is love. He rambles random facts off all the time, and I just pretend whatever he is saying is correct, because I usually don't know what he is talking about... oh well, I also don't remember what all of these planes were, if you know, you should hang out with Tanner!


This was an F-16 or 15 or something... I think...

This was a hopper plane from 1941 or 43, I would never have flown in it! Those brave men!!!

Shiny cool plane...

This plane was HUGE!!! Seriously huge! Don't believe me?

Well, this is us under it!
After, we got kids meals at McDonalds, yes we had breakfast there the day before, what can I say, we are fans!

Then the next surprise was Minnehaha Falls...

We walked down the path to the bottom and followed the stream a bit... the kids stopped to contemplate life...
Rented one of these fun surrey bikes! Very fun! Totally worth it! Mom, if you ever come see us, we will do this!

This is a replica on Longfellow's home in Boston, only 2/3rds the size... He has a famous poem called The Song of Hiawatha... it is about an indian warrior and his love... Hiawatha and Minnehaha. The road behind the house is Hiawatha... I guess where Minnehaha and Hiawatha meet is a good place to build a replica of his home! Ha!

And I know this will excite everyone, but the Metrodome's roof is up again! I know you have all missed it!

Can you tell it is humid here right now? Our heat wave should be over tomorrow. They say that our dew point and temperature combinations lately have been worse than the Amazons. Cool. Sign me up for another week.

Anyway, Tanner thinks we have the best surprises ever! We will take it! We need to be cool as long as we can! Anyway, I hope you are all enjoying summer, it is flying by!
