Spring Break

We took it easy over Spring Break. We took the opportunity to stay home, clean up the house a little, relax and play. (We don't have a lot of chances to just play at home with our toys or with each other. Life gets so crazy!)

We did take a couple of field trips.
Tuesday was our biggest day! Mommy left for work, and Daddy took us down to the U of M right after Mommy left.

We visited his coworkers, then headed out to explore campus.

We stopped at the alumni center to check that out.

Just hangin' with our old pal, Goldie.

"What's THAT, Dad?" 

Floor to ceiling books! It makes our collection look kinda small...

Could this be our future?

Daddy said it was just a small museum, but there were a lot of cool things there!

What did the fox say? 

After a run through the museum, we had lunch and then got on the train, heading for the Mall of America.

We made a stop to check out the progress at the Vikings Stadium.

This is going to be a big stadium!

We didn't spend much time at the Mall. We walked around Nickelodeon Universe, but got some ColdStone and headed back home on the train.

It was a pretty fun day! We made it home in time to make supper and spend the evening with Mommy.

Thursday, Mommy offered to take us to a museum, but we just wanted to go play at the local park. We spent a while playing, climbing & running around the ropes course, then headed home.

Friday, we took the opportunity to head out to Grandma & Grandpa's for Easter weekend.

We had a great week over Spring Break!
