August Whirlwind

Sorry there has been such an absence in our blog. Here is a glimpse into some of the activities we have been up to this month. We knew it was going to be a busy month based on the calender in Colin's room. He likes to circle the days in which we have fun activities planned and there were a lot of days circled. Some of the highlights include the parade in St. Anthony, Jason's softball tournament, fun at lake Johanna with cousins, water park with cousins, and we capped the month with a preseason VIKINGS game! Whew!

A Day With Thomas

Saturday we spent the day with Thomas the Tank Engine! Colin was very excited to get a ride from Thomas and Justin was excited to see the big "choo-choo". We got a short train ride "pulled" by Thomas and there were all sorts of booths set up with inflatable jumpers, mini golf, ball pits, etc. It was a beautiful summer day and one of the more popular exhibits was a TV playing Thomas videos, go figure. Luckily there was so much other fun stuff to do the boys didn't want to spend too much time watching videos. Colin rode a mini train and Justin opted for playing with Lego's.
