My cousin Kim and I had a very busy week last week keeping our kiddoes busy while our parents worked in our grandparents houses. Our Thomas Grandparents house is behind. My mom and her dad grew up there and now our gma T is living in an assisted living home in Woodbury but her house is still hers so we spent some time going through things and taking some memorable items. But we also went on plenty of other adventures which you will see in the many pictures below...
Linnea got ride in Kim's van which has a portable DVD player in it which she thought was pretty cool.
We went to Just Jump which has many inflatable slides and jumping areas but also this cute cabin which Linnea liked to go in and out of and shut the door and open the door and do the same with the window. Eloise and Eoin joined her for this picture.
Here is Eoin jumping and Linnea being bounced!
Hmmm...I wonder why I have Linnea's shades on and why are they backwards?? Thanks Eoin!
Happy Eoin in the car after or before one of our adventures!
I think she was clapping. Her and Eoin both were at one point and it was so cute! She definitely has more rhythm than her mama!
oooh sooo tired! Life is rough being a toddler!
Below are the cousins sort of holding hands at Woodlake Nature Center after our Chinese Buffet lunch. We went on a long walk here looking for animals. We saw geese, birds, muskrats, dogs and squirrels. I think the kids enjoyed the animals at the Como Zoo more.
But the Nature Center had a neat play area outside and Linnea found this log to sit on, or maybe her mom did and had her sit on it for a picture.
Something was pretty neat about this wall.
Tired Eoin.
Kim and I also brought the kids so some thrift stores...one of our favorite things!
We made it to the Como Zoo before the rain on Wednesday and got to see the baby orangutan!
Eoin and Kim got up close and personal with Sparky the Seal or Sea Lion ( I can never remember what he is) Eoin wasn't crazy about this...
neither was Eloise...
So we went and had a picnic in the sunshine!
Then it started raining so we got the kids in the car and they fell asleep so we took a road trip to Stillwater in hopes of the rain stopping long enough so we could play at a toddler park called The Teddy Bear Park but no luck. It just kept raining. So Kim and I just enjoyed the scenic drive, got a yummy coffee drink and headed back to St. Paul. I showed her Grand Ave. and Summit and then the kids had had enough of the car so we got out at a lil cafe/bakery for a bit.
We had a wonderful time during their visit, but went by too fast as usual! Can't wait until we get together again! Linnea is still looking around at night for all those people to kiss goodnight. Apparently just her two parents are not enough.
