Minnesota Summer Fun

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!!!
