Memorial Day in Pictures


We decided not to go to the cabin for Memorial Day this year - figured it was cold enough in the cities. Instead each of the boys got to pick out a favorite activity to do on one of the days.


Friday Night: Carter choose Chuck-E-Cheese. The boys had a blast eating pizza and playing games - we actually won close to 600 tickets. Of course with 600 tickets you can get 600 pieces of junk.


Saturday: After some morning clouds it turned into a beautiful afternoon and we went to Chutes n' Ladders at Hyland Park. Logan invited his friend Zach and all the boys had a great time climbing -mom and dad had a great time taking turns going for nice long jogs around the various trails. We actually ran into some of our old Peace Corps friends from Suriname as well. In the late PM Lakeville was in the bullseye for some serious storms. We had lots of hail and rain, but the damage was limited to our gardens. Many of our hostas now have nice holes in them. It could have been worse, during the storm Sara and the boys were at the water park with the car outside - luckily just 2 miles away and they didn't get any hail. (pictures below)


Sunday: Logan choose to go to a Twins game. Shawn and Logan got some good, last-minute seats and went to watch the Twins lose another game. It actually was a close game and they made a great 9th inning comeback just to fall short. Logan brought his sign from last game - everyone loves his Twins pillow-pet that has become a regular at the games as well. Next game we have tickets to is in 4 weeks - hopefully Mauer will be back by then. It was also Thome Bat day (picture below).
