When you say cheese you have to close your eyes as tight as you can, because that makes a really great picture Evan:-)

Minnesota Zoo
Friday Alex didn't have daycare, so I took the day off and took him to the zoo. I first took him to the Dolphin's which is my favorite and Evan's favorite too. We stood in front of the big glass window and we couldn't see anything. The baby Dolphin swam out of the other pool and into the big tank and Alex started screaming and he was afraid of the dolphin and pretty much anything that was swimming in Discovery Bay. We had to leave the area, because he wouldn't calm down.
I'm ready to go see some other animals Mommy!
He had a blast playing in the Woodland Adventure Park! I went up there with him a couple times and he just kept doing the same route, so I let him go up by himself. He'd climb up the stairs go all the way to the other end around the house and back across the walkway and down the slide and back up the stairs and across the walkway. Repeat and Repeat and Repeat = one tired boy!
Alex the turtle!
We came across the bears at 10:00 and they were doing some training. They brought Sadie over to give her some treats and check her out.
Alex was not afraid of this big bear standing up. She was totally calm and would take small treats for doing what she was told.
Kenai and Haines hang out and are thrown small treats while they do training with Sadie. They said the bears are 5 years old and are named from the region they came from in Alaska. They were abandoned by their mother and would not have survived in the wild. Alex would just say "Look at the big bears Mommy"!
On the way out to the family farm we saw the Tractor. They had one Alex could sit on, but he didn't want to.
We saw Goats and Cows and Sheep and Chickens. The goats got a little rough with each and scared Alex. We left about 12:30 and he passed out on the way home and slept for a couple hours after we got home.

Target Field!
Thursday Eric and I took the day off and went to a Twins day game at Target Field. He was at a game last season in his company suite, but I hadn't been to a game. We looked early in the season for tickets and everything was sold out or just single tickets, but we ended up getting a good deal on these thru stubhub..cheaper than face value. Just wait until a day or two before the game or even the same day and get a deal. There was almost 40,000 people there and the game was complete in just over 2 hours(very fast). The Twins won 1-0 against the Sox. We were in a section that was shaded from the sun, so I didn't get any sun! I put on sunscreen expecting to get a sunburn, but nothing! The sun did come out about the 6th inning.
This picture was taken from our seats in the upper deck 8 rows up.

Is it Summer Yet? We are undecided!
Donald brought his inflatable boat out to the island and he and Evan got pulled around the swim area in it by Eric. They were giggling and screaming like they were being pulled behind a boat. Just wait until they are a little bigger and actually get pulled behind a boat!
Alex was with them for a couple minutes, but the water was a little too cold for him. He insisted that he sit on my lap when he was cold and wet....note to self...bring more pants:-)
Sunday Gay and Bob came out to the island and we grilled out. Too bad it was cloudy and windy until we took them back to Excelsior. I guess we can say...at least it wasn't raining!
Alex hangs out down in the cabin with his toys while we are underway.
Sunday as we head back to the slip. He was so tired he fell asleep 2 minutes after he laid down when we got home.
The boys didn't get their heads wet, but Eric fully submerged in the cold water.
We love splashing noodles in the water!
Hi Minnehaha! Evan spots the Minnehaha from half way across the lake. We've promised him we will take a ride on it this summer.
This float plane is always flying around and landing. I got a good picture of it when it was heading into Excelsior.
Saturday Alex decided(was bribed) into coming up top for a cracker and some grapes. It was nice to have him sitting next to me rather than calling me down to be with him in the cabin.
After 3 hours and 15 minutes he still didn't want to wake up from his nap. He likes to nap on the boat! Love the legs tucked under his bottom:-)
The boys got to sit around the campfire a little on Saturday night before bed.
Sunday after naps we headed over to Dairy Queen for an ice cream treat! Evan wanted to share my M&M blizzard with me.
Evan put this paper mailer on his head!
Lady of the Lake Paddlewheeler. Evan likes watch what he calls "The Roller" on the back. Daddy says the paddlewheel isn't in the water far enough to power the boat and it doesn't spin at the same speed as the boat. Evan still likes it!
More Minnehaha!

Oh My...A Chihuahua!
Saturday when we were at Schooner Days the boys played this duck game where the bath tub ducks are floating in this pool and you pay $5 and you get to turn over 5 ducks and pick the best prize from the largest size(small, medium or large). They picked 4 smalls and a large, so Evan got to pick from a few different animals. I encouraged him to pick a pig, but he picked this chihuahua. Complete with leopard print jacket and ear bow. It's SO CUTE(LOL)!
He is pretty proud of it as you can see:-)
Last night when I was making dinner Evan took the toys off the shelf in the kitchen and laid down on the shelf.

What is happening?
Alex watching the train go around. This didn't last long and he was putting the trains in his dump truck and dumping them. He's more of a tow truck, dump truck and bulldozer kid at the moment.
The boys in matching PJ's watching a little "Mighty Machines" before bed!
Evan and his expanded track. He likes the switch it has and the train can go on a different track.
Both tired boys wanted to sit in my lap before bed.
Saturday morning we went to Schooner days in Eden Prairie and the boys rode some rides and had a corn dog and some mini donuts.
Evan decided to go down this big bouncy slide. Eric went down with him and hurt his toes.
Eric and Evan went on the helicopter ride! They found out if you pull on the handle the helicopter goes up.
Time for the Ferris wheel!
Whatever you do don't look at the camera Alex!
