MN Zoo

We met up with the Welch's at the MN Zoo.  We had no idea that the MN Zoo had a dolphin show.  How exciting!  We had a great time watching their dolphins do all sorts of tricks.


Emery thought he needed to check Gerad out.

Some of the walking took a little longer when the monorail went by.

The real reason for the zoo trip, was to see the dinosaurs!

They look very realistic with all of the fog they had set up.

Perhaps a little too realistic.  Parker was quite afraid of them.

 
T-rex was certainly one of our favorites.

Perhaps, it was higher rated than G.

We ended with the sea otters.  They were so much fun to watch swim all over the place.

Exploring Stillwater

Look at this AWESOME park in Sillwater!  It is the BEST park we have ever been to!

Joe helped us paddle our row boat.

As soon as we were off a slide, we immediately ran for another place to run!

We LOVED the spiderweb.

Family Picture

Picture with Joe and Kate.

We really enjoyed looking at the fish in this little pond.


Daddy got a little nervous with us walking up these stairs with Joe.  He joined us to make sure no one fell all the way down.  By the way, what you see, is only about a third of the total stairs to the top.

We had a little time after lunch, to enjoy the watching all the boats out on the water.

After lunch, we headed out on a trolley tour.  The kids enjoyed it, well..mostly slept through it while the adults enjoyed learning about this logging community.

Best view in Stillwater.  This view can be scene by taking the trolley tour or going up all the steps.  Mommy thought the trolley tour was a much more relaxing way to see the town.

Listening

When I get a little bored, I try out new things.  Today, I was trying out how sound waves go from my head phones, through my plastic cup, to my ear.  Yep, Mom and Dad are pretty sure I'm going to be an Engineer.

Dean Park

 
We climbed mountains and scaled tall buildings, but all we really wanted to do at Dean park was....

 
Even Emery loved playing in the water!


All the kids had a great time playing in the water.  We can't wait to go back to this park!

Cherries

I LOVE cherries!

2nd Annual Fegley Family Corn Feed

Of course, we forgot to get a picture of all the corn, but believe me, the Fegley's love their corn!

 
We tried VERY hard to drive the cars through Lori's legs.

It took LOTS of concentration.

Then we upgraded to Lori's bridge.

Uncle Mike thought is was good enough to drive it straight through 3 peoples legs!

Perhaps, we should have made that a little harder....

Lori was also busy teaching the future generation of street sweepers.  All they need now, are wooden shoes!

Aiden decided he wanted to learn to play Schafskopf.

Holden was also showing off his new Big Brother shirt!

Park

 
Back to the park this morning before preschool.  It isn't too hot to play outside at 9 AM.

Watermelon

 

We love watermelon!

New High Chair

I love my new high chair, even when I'm not sitting in it!

Farmer's Market

We decided to hit up the Farmer's Market this morning and take in a little music while we ate our breakfast.

Show Time

We played with Logan and Zoe this morning.  We decided to show off all of our VBS songs and motions.  Mommy thinks it's funny that we have to face the CD player to do all the motions.

Mac and Cheese

I love mac and cheese so much, that I even have it on my head!

Punctuation

Mommy:  "Aiden, you need to sit in time out for a period of time."
Aiden: "A period shows that a sentence is over."

Thanks a lot Electric Company!

Lion's Park

This morning, we were a little earlier for preschool, so we stopped to smell the flowers!

 

 

We also had a wee bit of time to run around and play at the park.  We sure had a lot of fun!  We are going to miss this place when preschool starts in the fall.
