Spring break family trip to Minnesota

The boys had Spring break from school last week so we planned a family vacation and headed for Minnesota. We stayed at the Water Park of America and filled our days with family fun. No pictures from the water park because I didn't want to get the phone wet but we took pictures from our other adventures. It was a great long weekend and we all had a fun time.
 Ethan climbing the rock wall at REI. His first climbing experience and he really enjoyed it.
Micah climbing the wall at REI and he enjoyed it too.

 Playing with exhibits at the Science Museum.




 Dave and Levi on the swings at the Mall of America.

 Levi and Micah on the bumper cars.
 Easter lunch at the Rainforest CafĂ©. Such a fun restaurant. The boys really liked the animals around us and the thunder and lightening storm that would come every once in awhile.

4 year old!

Our "baby" is 4! Where oh where does the time go? He had a great birthday. We started with birthday pancakes, Daddy made a Yoda cake and he picked to eat at A & W for his dinner out. What a big boy we have and he brings the bounce to our lives. Love you to pieces, Levi!

Family adventure

The weather was beautiful last weekend and we took full advantage of it. Out for a family hiking adventure! Give boys a few sticks, rocks and water and they are well entertained. We found some cool ice formations and a neat hollow log. We have been enjoying the warmer spring weather and getting our lungs cleaned out of stale winter air.

9 years old!

And Ethan turns 9! It is so hard to believe that our firstborn son is 9 already. He is such a blessing to us and we love him very much. We started out his birthday with birthday pancake. He chose A&W for birthday dinner out and then home for Darth Vador cake, ice cream and presents. He will tell you he had a pretty wonderful birthday.
 Birthday pancake number 9!
 
 Games and Legos for gifts. All a hit!


 And yet again Daddy did a wonderful job decorating a birthday cake.
