Hanging with the Monkeys

We're still talking about the funfilled weekend we just had!

Saturday we took a day trip up to our land/cabin. We stopped at the Silo Ice Cream Parlor (in Motley) on the way home and enjoyed yummy ice cream cones. David especially loved that the cotton candy ice cream turned his tongue blue.

Sunday we went to the Minnesota Zoo. We enjoyed watching the Monkeys swinging and climbing on trees. The weather was very warm... we were tempted at times to jump in the water and swim along with the Sea Otters just to cool off!! Instead, we decided to enjoy Snow Cones and Frozen Lemonade (a much better idea). David was bummed when his Snow Cone fell; but quickly cheered up when he realized their was bubble gum in the bottom of his cup!

We had so much fun watching all of the different animals. David loved the Grizzley Bears and Allison enjoyed watching the Muskrats. Our favorite was definitely the baby Monkeys!

Taking time to smell the flowers

This past Sunday we took time to enjoy the warm summer sun in our backyard. The weekends fly by so fast and too often we forget to take time and relax. David and Allison enjoyed taking their pictures in our flower garden. They absolutley love playing on their playground. We let the grass grow between our toes and created some memories.

The Strawberry Adventure

Sunday, June 29th we visited the strawberry patch.
The weather was perfect for strawberry picking. About halfway down the row we decided it was time to "taste test" the strawberries. The strawberries were delicious and very juicy. Once we had tasted the strawberries it was very difficult to place them in the box rather than in our tummies. We are looking forward to our next trip to the strawberry patch!
