Last week was my Minnesota week. It was super hot but we managed to have the best vacation yet!! Ty and Will did a lego camp and Luke and Mace did Star Wars camp for a few hours in the morning so Eric and I got to get in some good exercise each morning and act like tourists. Thursday afternoon was beach day at Lake Calhoun.
Before the twins and I got there Grandmas took the boys to the zoo.
Of course we made a trip to Mall of America and the Nikolodeon amusement park.
Eric and I did stand up paddleboarding one day at Lake of the Isles.
We had one great date night with Jake and Kari while the boys had a date with Grandma. We ate at Bar La Grasa in Minneapolis and the food was amazing, as well as the wine Jake brought.
Friday afternoon was spent at the pool.
Friday night Jake and Kari hosted a party and lots of Eric's high school friends came, it's always great to see them and now some have kids which is so fun to see! This is Mason and Archer.
Mace, Chad, Archer & Eric
Jake making killer pizzas on the grill.
Eric setting up safe kid activities, with the help of Chad. Uh oh.
Eric, Jeff, Chad & Zack.
Biba, Nadja & Jeff.
Me with Kari & Jessi, those girls always make my trip extra fun!!!
Saturday was a little rainy so we went to a place called Sky Zone. A huge indoor area with about 200 trampolines. I think my boys enjoyed it...
Saturday night we took the boys down to the lake to play at the park and for dinner at Tin Fish. It was a fun night and afterwards we headed to Zack and Jessi's for some more fun for us!!
I love this one of me & Mace, had to squeeze it in.
A wonderful week, an amazing family and great friends. We are lucky. Thanks to everyone who made it so special!!!
I can't believe I didn't put this picture up!!! And it's a good family one, these don't come around too often & I love it!! This was at Mall of America.
Jake built a climbing wall in Will's room, the boys took full advantage!!
Eric and I on the day we rented bikes and rode around the lake, so much fun!
The boys and grandma up at her cabin.
All 3, tubing together. I'm so glad they get to experience the Midwest summer. 
How cute is Mace???
Feeding the ducks at sunset, this is going to be blown up and framed!!
My karate kids. Eric and Zack spent the day cutting down trees up at the cabin and the kids found a way to enjoy their work.
Eric and Zack went up to Grandma Nelly's cabin in Walker Minn for some big boy fishing and fun. 
The day I flew home (by myself!!) Kerri, Niko and Roman picked me up and we headed to Del Mar Race Track. It's on the way home.....
Love them!!!
When Eric came home from Alaska we did the Seaport Village thing again. Boys love the street performers!
Alone for 2 weeks! Had a fun night out with my girls Court, Sanya and Devona. Bob joined us and I got some good pics.
