Canterbury Park

We spent last weekend in Shakopee, MN at Canterbury Park. Saturday was Gopher Sports day - what a fun time!! The Park was very family friendly (I was a little nervous about that), and Maren made a new best friend in Coach Brewster! We had so much fun on Saturday that we went back on Sunday for Family Day: Pony rides! We probably won't make it back this summer, but we're looking forward to another trip to Canterbury.

Go Gophers!

One Step, Two Step

Maren took her first steps yesterday!
It won't be long before she's running beside Cale!

We had a fun weekend. We spent Saturday at home and enjoyed the small pool in the backyard in the morning and late afternoon. It was much more enjoyable in the afternoon, but the rain clouds were rolling in so we weren't able to stay out too long -- just enough to get Mom's clothes soaked from the splashers!

On Sunday, Cale and Daddy went to the Twins vs. Rangers game with Grandpa Olson, Bopper, Angie, and Jenna. Mommy and Maren spent the day with Grandma Olson....shopping, what we do best! Maren was the perfect shopper - it's in her genes. Poor baby, was so stimulated with all of the people and music in the stores that she didn't get much more than a 30 minute nap all day. She had a major meltdown when we got back in the car to leave. Sorry, Grandma! It was hard for her to concentrate on driving with Maren so upset. We finally settled down with a little snack and some DQ. I was hoping she'd get some zzz's on the ride home, but no chance. Needless to say, she made no fuss when it was time for bed.

Have a great week!

Our 4th of July Weekend

I'm finally getting to this post - better late than never! We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend at Lake Okoboji (O-chee-bo-gee, as Cale says it) with the Driscolls! We left Thursday night after work so we had all of Friday and Saturday to enjoy the long weekend. Here is a snapshot at our weekend activities.
