Minnesota Trip

We had such a great time in Minnesota last week.  It was a trip with not a lot of sleep for most of us but packed with lots of fun activities and cousin time.  This was also the first time staying in a hotel with Lincoln that he can really remember since the last time he was 1 so it took him awhile to figure out the experience.  He kept asking when we were going to go back to our yellow house to sleep J.

The hotel was really nice and had a huge indoor waterpark attached so we spent lots of time swimming.  I didn’t get many pictures but the boys loved the wave pool and huge raft water slide.












Trying the famous Juicy Lucy.  It was amazing J.





We spent Saturday at the Minnesota zoo which was really nice.  They had several bear exhibits so Lincoln was in heaven and also had a dinosaur exhibit which the boys loved.  Ainsley was a trooper and amazing through all of it.  She went a long time with no nap and did really well.
















Sunday we walked around Lake Harriet and ate lunch before heading back home.  The boys were exhausted so we thought the drive home would be a piece of cake with lots of sleeping kids but boy were we wrong.  They all pretty much were awake the entire trip until we got to Ames and then we looked back and they were all passed out.. go figure. 






It was a great time but I’m glad it will be awhile before we do that again.  We were ready for early bedtimes on Sunday and a slower week to catch up on our sleep from the 4th and then vacation.  Hard to believe summer is officially half way over.
