Memorial Day 2011

Fun at Ox Lake!

First pontoon ride of the year!


The new sandbox - what a hit!


Kid size Anirondak's - too cute!


Double trouble!

"I caught you a delicious bass"


Bathtime with a friend is always more fun.


Campfire and smores...the best!


That's a keeper!


Being silly on the beaver damn!

MOA "Firsts"

Ben's favorite place to go these days is Mall of America.  He begs, and begs, and even prays about getting to go to the MOA. (He's even informed us that when he gets bigger he is going to work at the Mall of America - although we'll have to drive him there since he doesn't know how to drive or how to get there.  I guess he's really thought it out!)
It had been awhile since we had been there, it was a rainy day, so we decided to suprise Ben with a trip.  Both kids got to experience a few "firsts" that day.

Ella's 1st time on rides:

First Ride!


Riding the Big Rig with her brother.
 We also went through the Mirror Maze they have on the third floor for the first time.  That was very cool!



Where do we go!?


Which one is the REAL Ben?





Ben is also big enough now to go on the BIG Rollercoaster for the very first time - wow, was he brave!



Can you see them?



Just a little big nervous.


Ben can't wait to go back again!
