July in Minnesota

Samuel and I went to Minnesota for 2 weeks in July. Rob was able to join us for about 5 days in the middle of the trip. We had the 3rd annual golf tournament in memory of my Dad.

We spent lots of time at parks and playgrounds. Trips to the Children's Museum, the zoo and the aquarium. Along with lots of time playing in Abuela's house and yard.

This playground is at Carver Lake, close to my moms house.








Samuel had lots of fun playing in the pool. Although I'm not sure what to think of his attempts to drown Curious George. (Or perhaps as someone suggested, he was baptizing him)



















































At Teddy Bear park in Stillwater.

With Mari and Maycee. Their parents (Terry and Jill) are good friends of my parents (and us too!) Terry is the impetus behind the golf tournament and as a family they make the annual trip to Minnesota for it. Samuel loved playing with them. (And their older sister Maggie, who was celebrating her 13th Bday)

Our first trip to Mall of America park. (It was previously known as Camp Snoopy, but I can't think of what it is now called)

Riding the hot air balloons.

With Abuela (my mom) on the Carousel.

Some messy eating.

Our second trip to MOA. (With Rob and to celebrate Maggie's 13th bday)
