Weekend in St. Paul

I spent Friday, Saturday, and Today in St. Paul!

Friday/Saturday

After work on Friday, I headed up to Andover to pick up Beth, her friend, and her brother and headed downtown. We met Jaymie at Rice Park - and enjoyed the rest of the evening at the Excel. Jaymie's company has a box at the Excel - so we purchased some seats from which to enjoy the State Wrestling Tournament. Even tho we shared Friday night with some friends of Jaymie's coworker - it was still a good time.

Saturday was more of the same - this time Hayden and kids joined us - and we had the box to ourselves.



Sunday

I joined Lon/Jaime/Alice to their first ever trip to the Children's Museum. (Sesame Street exhibit is in town - and we wanted to catch it.) So much fun was had by all - that while eating lunch we decided to go back to the box office - to put our day's fee toward a family package (with the $20 "Caregiver/Nanny" add on for ME!) And except for the fact that the dork wouldn't count my paid admission into the package (as I didn't have the receipt for the CASH transaction - and standing there IN the place - with my Museum sticker displayed didn't count for much) - SO - other than that - boom badda boom - we are now "Members" and can go whenever we want - for FREE! These pictures are proof positive that today's money and membership fee was well worth it all - and will pay for itself many times over in the next 12 months!!



Cutest Family Ever on their way to the Best DAY ever!

Probably her favorite spot - the Water Room.

Balls and Water?!?!?!? Say it ain't so!!

She's dancing to "C is for Cookie"

Daily - "Big Fun" takes place in the Atrium. Music, Props, Toddlers.

More Big Fun

. . . Ok, and moms and dads (& aunties) can have Big Fun too!

moments like these make me miss having little kids - then I remember the rest and can't wait for the nest to empty :)
