First Trip to the MN Zoo!

Alaina had her very first trip to the Zoo today! She loved seeing all the animals, but I think her favorite part was playing in the splash pad at the end of our Zoo visit! It was HOT, so this was the perfect way to cool off before heading home! We now have a 1 year membership and I'm sure we will definitely be back soon!

My personal favorite - the silly monkeys!

Fishies!

Scary sharks!

Big Brown Bear

Leopard

Silly Prairie Dogs!

LLama's

Getting ready to head out to the farm!

Not too sure about these goat things!

Oh ok I guess I can pet them!

Moo!

Pretty chickens!

Stinky Pigs!

Splash Pad...Ahhhhhh!!!

Hey -where did it go?

Ahhh - I'm thirsty!

Sooo much fun!

Candyland!

While waiting to visit baby Eric, we took a little walk around St.Paul looking for snoopy statues...We found several in front of the store Candyland and never made it anywhere else!? If you've never been there, you must go! They have the best popcorn ever and I'm sure the best candy too! Alaina wanted it all..but all she got was some fruit snacks from mommy's purse and her picture taken with the snoopy characters...I know what a mean mom! Next year we'll bring her back for a treat!

Finally a Cousin!!

Mac Fest 2010!

We had our annual McNamara festival at the cabin last weekend. We had over 30 people there by Saturday and it turned out to be an awesome weekend! The weather was perfect for being in the lake, nice n' hot & humid! It is so much fun to watch the kids play together and enjoy the annual cabin trip! The pictures tell the story of the weekend!
