More fun stuff from the summer that went too fast!!

Labor day weekend in MN...marks the end of summer!:( If the weather today is any indication...so long to summer. We had a fun, busy, fast and crazy summer. Can't believe how fast it went, but we did get in many fun activities. Here is what we have been up to the last couple weeks:

8/24: Bunker Beach with Leah's friend Michael and Mom, Sara. We had a fun day. The weather was a little cool, but the kids didn't seem to mind. Amber joined us in the middle of our afternoon. Amber enjoyed sitting in the pool and splashing. This year...Leah had no problem with the water slides...in fact, that was where she headed first.

9/2: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!

9/4: A conversation today with Leah.
Leah: Daddy did you know that we can't see real dinosaurs because they are all gone?
Daddy: That's correct.
Leah: Were they around when I was a baby?
Daddy: No, they have been gone for a very, very long time....
Leah: So were they around when you were a baby?
Daddy: (While laughing) No honey, daddy isn't quite that old.

9/5: The girls and I spent the day at Como Zoo. Leah had fun showing Amber the ropes, and introducing her to her fav- Sparky the sea lion! At the park at Como Town, Leah did the Monkey Bars completely unassisted! Go Leah.
9/5: AMBER cuts her first tooth!

9/6: First visit to Target field- MN vs KC. Twins win!! We went with our friends- Sara, Mike and Michael. Had a nice day...but I could have done without the rain! The field is very nice and there doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the place...now, how can they add a retractable roof?? Okay, maybe I need to settle down about the rain. It really was a fun time. Glad we were able to go and enjoy the baseball game under the sun (well, at least for part of the game). :)

This week Leah has kindergarten entrance week with her visit with the teacher on Thursday. She begins her school year on Monday 9/13. Wow!
