Shortly after arriving at the house, we got back into the car and drove no more than 15 minutes to the Minnesota Zoo for Thrivent Family Night. We had a blast and I think the boys enjoyed seeing an animal or two. Our big boy absolutely loved walking along the zoo paths. He, of course, did not want to hold hands with Mommy or Daddy, so when he'd had enough walking, he got to ride on Daddy's shoulders or in his stroller. Needless to say, the majority of the time, he preferred sitting on Daddy's shoulders instead of riding in the stroller. We stayed at the zoo just long enough to wear the kids out, but not too long so the boys could go to bed as close as possible to their normal bedtimes. As the kids slept, Andrew and Christian went to the movie theater to see the new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight". They LOVED it! Actually, that's about all they talked about yesterday morning. Well, that and their plans to visit a special exhibit at the Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM).
Yesterday, Daddy and Andrew left in the morning and drove to see the new Star Wars special exhibit at the SMM. While the Daddys enjoyed Star Wars, the Mommys and the two boys played all day long. First, we went to the park and played on the playground equipment, then we returned home for some lunch and a nap, and, finally, we played the rest of the evening at the house (playing both inside and outside). What a perfect end to the day!!!
Of course, the boys had trouble sharing, but as their visit together went on, they got better at sharing and playing next to each other. We had a great time and are looking forward to another visit real soon!!
All in all it was a great trip! Unfortunately, we weren't able to get together with Christian's parents while we were in town, but maybe next time. Enjoy some pictures from our visit. God bless!!
NOTE: The Star Wars pictures from the Science Museum of Minnesota are pictures of actual costumes/props from the movies.
