Fun at the Children's Museum with the Cousins

Today we had a blast at the Children's Museum in Brooking, SD.  All 8 of the kids enjoyed themselves--and were pretty tired when we left.

First stop was the farm/conveyor belt/grocery store

Then we climbed the huge Twister.  Gus was the best climber!

Dommy and Bernadette camped out in the Tipi.

And Gus made it to the top of the twister!  I know you can't tell from this pictures, but it was actually really high.

And then Dommy got attached by an Eagle outside the Tipi

The Lanoues demonstrated their strength.

And Luke changed a few tires.

Then we headed outside to go fishing and tie dye some shirts.

Next Gus and David dug up some dinosaur bones.

Then we headed to the splash room.

Next up the art room and painting on windows.

And finally, a huge light bright!

It was fun--and Daddy, we miss you!

Another Fun Weekend

This past weekend was full of family fun!  We we busy celebrating our little Dominic's 1st year of life.

The first stop on Saturday was Como Zoo.

That evening my parents were in town.  They stayed with the kids and we went to Jurassic World (which was incredible)!  The next day they went with us to church.

After a day of yard work went to our new summer spot--a man-made pond in Maple Grove.  It is shallow, clean, warm and AWESOME.  I think we will be spending lots and lots of time there this summer.

Dommy got dirty but he had a BLAST scooting around in the dirt (sand).

We are so blessed.

Dommy Turns 1!

Our Sweet Dominic turned 1 year old last Friday.  He is still FAR from walking, but just the sweetest, happiest boy ever ever ever.  I am more in love with this messy little scooter every single day.

Our friend Frankie who came to play at the park with us.

And the sweet little one year old!
