Last week, the kids had VBS all week. Both kids went everyday from 9am-3pm. Elliott was so tired at the end of the day. They stayed really busy all day long, and there were no naps for the week. Both kids really enjoyed VBS, and did really well. On Sunday, they got to sing some of the songs they learned in bible school, and it was adorable! They had 78 kids show up to VBS, which is awesome!!
Last Thursday, John and I worked a half day and then headed to Minneapolis for the Twins Game. We stopped at Ryan's on the way, and he drove us to the cities. It was SDSU night at Target Field, and it was a really fun night. There was a two hour rain delay to start the game, so we got to spend 2 hours drinking $9.50 beers at the bar. I don't even want to think about how much we spent on beer. But, the game was really fun to watch, and the Twins even won! It was close to midnight by the time the game was over. After the game, we headed to a bar for a little while with some college friends, and then scarfed a pizza at like 1am. It was fun, but we were so tired by the end of the night. We shared a hotel room with Ryan (since it was like $200 for one night).
The next day, we stopped at Bongaard's for some cheese. Then we headed to New Ulm and did the Shell's Brewery Tour. It was pretty fun, and we got to drink more beer. Then we went to Turn Halle for lunch, which is the oldest bar in Minnesota. It was pretty cool, and I had never been in there before so it was a fun experience. We finally made the long drive home and called it a day.
We collected our kids the next day, and it was nice to hang out with them again and hear all about their VBS week. The rest of the weekend was pretty low key and we just caught up on things around home.
This past week was another busy one. My parent's came town on Monday night, and got here just as our softball game was ending. We ate supper with them at the Pour House, and had a nice evening with them. The next day they kept the kids out of daycare and hung out with them all day. I think everyone had a fun day together. They stayed to watch my first softball game Tuesday night, and then they headed back home. It was a nice little visit.
This past weekend has been pretty fun. On Friday night, we just stayed home and played in the yard enjoying a beautiful summer day. We probably should have had a campfire, but the day just kind of got away from us.
On Saturday, due to some begging from the kids, we headed to Brookings to go to the Children's Museum. The kids had an absolute blast. They played really hard for a solid 3 hours, before we tore them away to go get lunch. We got lunch at Cubbies, and then they both slept really hard on the way home.
Today, we started off with church, and then both kids were crabby and kind of naughty so we had a family nap. Both kids and I napped in our big bed, while John shot some Senior Photos. The kids slept for a solid two hours, which was totally necessary. After naps, we headed to the pool to do some swimming. Then we went to McDonald's for happy meals and they got to play in a play place. It was a pretty good day for them.
After we got home, the kids rode bike for awhile, and now finally settled down for bed. Emma is super over tired and crabby, so that's fun. But, it has been a great summer so far, and I'm so sad that July is slowly winding down. Can't summer last forever?!
