Monday, we came home from daycare and a big tractor was digging up the street in front of our house! It turns out it was actually our neighbor's yard that was being dug up to put in some new pipes underground. Angie came shortly after we got home, so we got to hang out with her Monday night. We asked her to come with us to the state fair, and she came Monday so we could leave early Tuesday for the fair. After supper, Angie and Mom took us to the store to buy shoes. I got sketchers! I've wanted Sketchers for a long time so now i can be really fast! They didn't have the hot lights shoes I wanted, but I'm still excited about my new sketcher shoes.
Tuesday morning, we got up bright and early to go to the state fair. We are big kids now, so Mom and Dad said we wouldn't use strollers. When we got tired of walking, we could go home. We took several rests during the day and survived from 8:30 until 6:30! Daddy and Mommy were so impressed with us. We saw the baby animals in the baby animal barn (we saw baby pigs that were 3 days old and even a pig who was having new baby pigs!), we saw all the animal barns, we rode rides (in the kidway as well as the space needle and the skyride), helped out at the little farmhands, did projects in the kids area, checked out campers, saw how they get milk from cows and looked at a lot of things at booths. We had lemonade, hot cheese, strawberries & cream, peanut butter sandwiches that came in a little car, corndogs and ice cream. It was such a fun day! We can't wait to go back to the fair next year!
Wednesday we went back to daycare. I was the best eater for the month of August - I cleaned my plate the most times - so I had a Happy Meal for lunch! It was good to see our friends and get to tell them all about the fair! After daycare, Daddy and Mommy picked us up and we went to our preschool open house. Mrs. Bodin & Mrs. Hanks were so happy to see us. Mrs. Bodin rearranged the room a little bit, but was very impressed that I'm reading. Afterwords, Mom & Dad brought us to an exercise store. We checked out all the different machines while Mommy checked out the treadmills. It was pretty fun!Thursday morning Daddy took Cheyenne with us to daycare. At lunchtime Sue called us up to lunch and Mommy and Daddy were there waiting for us! What a fun surprise. They said they were going to take us for a picnic but it started to rain, so we drove to a restaurant on our way to vacation!
Mom and Dad had talked about going to a water park for vacation, but we weren't too excited about it. Hannah was sad because Cheyenne went to a puppy hotel without us, and I'm not excited about new things sometimes.
On our way to vacation, we stopped at an army museum. We saw lots of
guns, weapons, uniforms and medals. Daddy even got us camo t-shirts like he had when he was in the army! After that, we got to go outside and climb on helicopters and tanks and check them all out. Unfortunately, we had to cut that visit short because it started to rain on us.We drove for a little while longer until we came to a big town and Daddy stopped at a hotel. It was pretty nice, so we were excited to go in. There were bears and animals in the lobby. Mommy got a room key and we went into our room - it was nice! It had a little living room with beds behind a little wall on the other side of the room. We got to pick our own bed - we, of course, picked the bed with the TV by it. Then we checked out the waterpark. It was awesome! We couldn't wait to swim in it! We had to make a trip to Target to pick up some snacks for the week, but got to come back and swim! It was so fun - there was a lake with a pretend tree in the middle of it and a river with waterslides that we could sit in tubes and swim around.
Friday morning we got up and went to Paul Bunyan Land.
Paul Bunyan was a really big man - he knew our names when we walked in! We let Mom take our picture while we sat on his boot, but I didn't like him. He was kind of scary. Hannah kept wanting to talk to him, but I didn't like him. As long as I could avoid Paul Bunyan, I had a blast riding all the rides I wanted to ride. We rode every ride that we were tall enough for - boats, canoes, bugs, airplanes, train, frog hopper (that's our favorite ride!) the roller coaster (Hannah didn't like that one!), the ferris wheel, sleighs, bumper cars and the tilt-a-whirl. There was a bunch of barns and a little town set up with old stuff in it. We looked at it, but the only part we wanted to check out was the little school's playground. We did also get to ring the church bell.We got tired at about 1:30 so we stopped for sandwiches and went back to the hotel. We relaxed for a short time before going back to the waterpark until suppertime. We went to pizza ranch for supper - that was so yummy!
Saturday morning, we got up, packed our bags and went to the waterpark one last time before going home. I wanted to play all day, but once it was lunch time, we cleaned up and headed out for lunch. We got to go to McDonalds, have Happy Meals and play in the playland. We stopped by our friend Reid's cabin on our way home, but he wasn't home. We also stopped at a weird store with a little of everything and that was fun to check out the fish house, furniture and fun stuff on the shelves.
When we got home, we unloaded and headed out again. We went to Daddy's volleyball friends house on Lake Minnetonka. I got to play with their 3-yr old boy, so we played good guy/bad guy and roughhoused while Hannah played in the kitchen. It was a fun night.
We were on the road a lot Sunday. We got to play a little bit in the morning before going to a big house to look at some beds that Grandma wanted us to buy for her. Mom and Dad had to take them apart and load them in the truck, and we were on our best behavior while they were in and out, packing the trucks. The lady that was there was so nice! She gave us play money, books and Christmas bows!
We played at home for a little while and then got to go get Cheyenne from the puppy spa. We've missed her so much! She ran around the yard and house when we got home - she was so happy to see us and we missed her a lot, too.
When we got home, Mommy told us we were going to have supper guests so we cleaned up a little bit. Grandma, Grandpa, Dani, Jason, Lauren & Ben came over! We had supper then went back to the house where we got the bed. We played in the front yard while they moved some couches out of the house. Unfortunately, they couldn't stay and play. But, it was so fun to play with our cousins for a few hours!
Today we got to go to Ron & Carol's house for a volleyball party. Of course, we had yummy food (we brought pizza!) and there were lots of other kids there to play with. My favorite thing to do at Ron & Carol's is still to play in the hammock. Hannah played with the girls all day - I did my own thing most of the day. I had a fun time, but it has been a very busy week! We're looking forward to going back to Sue's house tomorrow. And, we start our first day of school on Friday, so we're really looking forward to going back to school.
Have a good week back to school! Next year, we'll be starting kindergarten at this time!
