Awesome weekend!


We had a great weekend! We didn't have any plans all weekend and it sure filled up fast with things to do. Friday night we enjoyed supper on Lake Washington at Westwood Bar and Grill with Jason, Heidi, and Lucy. It's a great place to eat because the girls could play on the beach with all kinds of buckets and shovels while we waited for our supper. We then went for ice cream after supper.

Saturday Audrey and I went with my parents to Blue Earth to visit my grandparents in the nursing home. Audrey was super scared when we got there but soon discovored she loved rides in the wheel chair. We then had a great lunch at Pizza Hut. Saturday afternoon we headed to the Como Zoo at the last minute for a quick visit. Audrey was digging the giraffes, we were super bummed that the polar bears were nowhere to be found in their new and improved home.

Today was an amazing day, if any of you know how much trouble we have had getting Audrey to ride in the bike trailer you will understand how incredibly excited we were to get her to go for a ride today. We rode bikes together as a family all last summer and this summer she has been so afraid of the trailer it's been impossible to ride with her. It was my first ride this summer. We told Audrey we were riding down to Lucy's house and she just went outside hopped right in and asked for her helmet. It seemed so easy, althought it took us months to get to this point. We are hoping it's just as easy next time.



I love this picture of Audrey, she was checking out some big fish in the aquarium at the zoo.





She was being so wacky in the backseat with her blanket and then we looked back and found this.



Audrey watching her 12 minute princess video. She has never been one to watch tv shows, we can't seem to find anything that keeps her attention, until we bought her a dollhouse for her birthday and it came with a 12 minute video about princesses, she loves it and watches it several times in a row. Brent has it memorized, ha. We are thinking before vacation we need to find some longer videos for the long car rides.
