Good Times in MN

We took a long weekend trip to Minnesota, and here are some of the highlights (ok, a lot of the highlights). 

We find ourselves at one playground or another almost daily! This one was great, until we got caught in a downpour...


We went to Trader Joe's instead. Which has an elevator, and a bench inside said elevator. 

 Hadleigh has a pretty sweet tree swing. 

Big sisters, 

little sisters. 

 "Of course I'm not planning to crawl outside onto these dangerous concrete steps, Auntie Beth!"

 Bike club.

This was at "chutes and ladders" park, a huge playground with amazing climbing structures and slides.


 there was also a lake, obviously. 


Wedding of the century right here. A lot of planning and preparation that went into this event! It was very nice of the big girls next door to play along. 







We were hoping to get a nice enough day for the beach, but that wasn't in the cards! So we settled for a visit to the Farmer's Market, lake and playground, and trolley ride instead.

It was a fun weekend!

See Ya, Kindergarten!

Last day of school! 

We ended the year the same way we started, with some pictures and a walk to school.





After the half day dismissal, there was a big picnic! Here's Evelyn with her best buddies. 


Walking home 

 And finally, the first day/last day comparison shot! The same dress was intentional :)


Bring on summer!
