Weekending....

Well it's Monday again!  This past week got a little out of hand.  Jay tweaked his back BIG TIME!  He was out of commission for the 2nd half of the week with pain meds and muscle relaxers trying to get some back spasms under control.  Despite all of that happening, Kaila and Chase came up for a visit!  We had some fun adventures!

Friday night, we headed to Barnes & Noble for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle event! 

(Chase LOVES TMNT!)

 

 There was a storytime (notice how little the crowd is?) 

Strange because last weekend for the Frozen event was CRAZY!

 They got some ninja training!

 Even made their own turtle shells!

Super fun!

Saturday, we headed to the Dakota County Fair!

Riding the rides....

Being recycling super heroes!

Ella got her groove on at the Radio Disney dance party!

 

We totally had to take a picture with the Princesses at the DirectTV (or maybe Comcast?) exhibit!

And Ella's favorite wild animal at the wild exhibit was...wait for it...the baby deer!  HA!

It was a crazy weekend, but we had a lot of fun with Chase & Kaila in town!

Weekending....

We have been keeping busy the past few weekends trying to enjoy the summer and also get things done around the house.  A few pictures from our adventures!

 We gifted a "Dump Cart" to Jay for his birthday this year.  (This is what he wanted).  

After he got it put together, Ella got the inaugural ride

 Hot summer days mean special treats, like a SpongeBob popsicle!

 Ella will be a flower girl this fall in Jay's oldest sister's wedding.  

She tried on her flower girl dress and curtsied in true princess fashion.  :)

 We've been taking in the weekly puppet shows on Friday mornings.  

This past Friday was the final one for the season - boo!  The summer is flying by!

 Finding time to play at the park

 And ride our bikes!

Friday night, Barnes & Noble hosted a national Frozen night.  We attended the event at the Burnsville location and Anna and Elsa were there too!  Ella was SPEECHLESS.  She had a good time.  The princesses had storytime with the kids and then they all sang songs together from the movie -

 it was pretty awesome

Saturday we headed to the water park in Apple Valley to have some pool time!  We can't wait to go on vacation in a few weeks and REALLY have some fun at the water parks in Wisconsin Dells

Happy Summer!
