Family Time

During the past few weeks, the stress of school was starting to wear on us. The boys and I were missing Henrik, and after a week of the boys being sick and cooped up inside, we needed a good weekend full of fun family outings.

Here's a glimpse . . .

The Zoo

Their Monkeys . . .

Our Monkeys.
(We ignored the "Please do not feed the animals." sign.)

This was our first time to see the tigers swimming and playing. It was Grrrrreat!
(Sorry for the lame joke!!)

Sunday we headed to Stillwater to enjoy the St. Croix. E loved the bridge. Of course we had no idea that we would be witnessing such a terrible bridge tragedy only days later. Our sympathies and prayers are with all those who are suffering after the devastating collapse of the 35W bridge.

E also found an injured butterfly and was able to check it out up close.

N was just content to walk around with Mamma.

Finally, the boys each tried something new that they really liked. E - raquetball . . .

And N, pickles.
