Busy Weekend
For a weekend that started out with no plans it sure was a busy holiday weekend! Saturday was a gorgeous day and BG was full of energy but no one was around to play, so we decided to take him to the tubing park.
Green Acres is a small tubing area in Lake Elmo. It has two different “runs”, one for everybody that is probably 100 yards long, and a much steeper run for 13+. They let Brandon in free with my ticket provided we share a tube, being his first time this was fine. The rope tow rope takes some getting used to but after I learned the trick of laying on the rope it became much easier and my arms thanked me!
An hour and a half of tubing was enough for Brandon and myself, it did not help that we were both soaked through our snow suits due to the wet snow. After grabbing a quick hot chocolate we left the hills for another day.
On Sunday I received a call from a friend, Brad Nuss. They were coming to the Mall of America to take their 16 month old daughter through the Underwater Aquarium and invited us along. Brandon enjoyed the sharks, but we got a kick out of Aidens expressions when he saw the Koi (sp?) pond and all the fish jumping around. After the aquarium we had a quick lunch at a BBQ place and wrapped up another busy afternoon.
Monday was a bit more laid back for myself and Brandon. I worked from home while he enjoyed a few movies and a trip to a neighbors house. Of course the obigitory trip to McD’s for lunch and slides made for the “best day ever” to quote BG.
Well I guess it is back to work for me. Enjoy your Tuesdays!
