Greta's favorite game is finding rhymes for everything these days. That, and playing pink panther. Who knew the pink panther would find a second life in the imagination of my 4 year old? It is true and weird.
Our Memorial weekend, was....almost fun. The kids ended the week before with a stomach virus. Yes, both of them. But we thought the storm had passed and that we could sneak away to see our friends the Schensted's down in SW MN on Sunday night. Well. Wes dropped the ultimate vom bomb when we were 45 min away from their house. EPIC I tell you (It reminded me of this...Warning- not for the faint of heart. This is disgusting: http://thisisphotobomb.memebase.com/2009/05/26/epic-vom-bom/ Forgive me for sharing that image, but the truth is, I still laugh every time I see that picture. However, I was NOT laughing when I was cleaning up the backseat on the side of the highway). We continued on, hoping it was just a little car sickness. Well after a fun night of board games (the Schen's have a monster game collection and they are our source for all good games...) Greta's vomiting returned with a vengeance. Oiye.
The good news...once they felt better (5 days later with 1 more self-imposed quarantine day for the sake of all Minnesotans) the weather became Minnesota Niiiiiice. Sunny & warm. Light breeze. Eat your hearts out Southern peeps. So there have been:
several days in the kiddie pool (big pools aren't open yet...),
bike rides, enjoying our new neighborhood farmers' market,
picnics with friends,
and general lounging about.
And yesterday for Magical Mystery Monday (our family day, which we are trying to make extra adventurous this summer) we went to the Science Museum and took in the dinosaurs. She was a big fan. Wesser even seemed intrigued by the big bone-a-sauruses.
We're getting ready for our adventures in June. We'll have lots of pictures and stories to share from the coming weeks. We hope your summer has gotten off to a great start!
