Hot and Fun weekend!

It was a very hot & humid weekend here, but we sure had fun doing a little bit of everything.

Saturday, Kristie and I made a day trip and brought our kids to Sandy Lake, where Kristie has a cabin from growing up. Super fun day was had- dock jumping, fishing, boat ride, and swimming!

Saturday night, I took the kids to see the 10:00 fireworks at Valleyfair. We got there at 9:45, and parked across the hwy 101 from Valleyfair. As we waited in the back of the truck with blankets, a faint train whiste could be heard...then some lights coming down the train tracks could be seen that laid only about 30 feet in front of us. Caleb, being the train lover he is, was beyond excited as he exclaimed "a night train is coming!" The conductor blew the whistle plenty for us as they went by and Caleb was so happy watching the long train go down the track. Then the fireworks began, and the kids watched all the different colors high up in the sky.

Sunday, we went to the Shakopee pool to keep cool in the tropical-like heat, where we met up with my parents, Kristy & Jack. We then winded down the weekend with some relaxing, napping and movie watching at my parents house.

Ready now for the week ahead... and in 5 days Craig will be visiting home for my little brother's wedding on Saturday- can't wait!
