Trip to STC

A few weeks ago, Mike was in Minnesota, and the boys and I headed to STC for some quality time. They were in heaven doing a "tour" of the local parks. Not sure why these pictures are all out of order, but enjoy nonetheless! For the record, they are now huge fans of Rocket Park! And yes, the old rocket is still there! Just like I remembered when walking there after a long day at Haines Jr. High!

Ethan running--his preferred mode of movement these days.

Colin running in the driveway with his best buddy Charlie... who will not leave his side as long as Colin keeps the tennis ball in his hand! Our little dog lives to play tennis ball!

Catching some rays, listening to some tunes with Bubba's old radio headset, and cruising the driveway!


Ethan tries to pedal his Diego trike!

And now, Colin stops to take a reading break.

Enjoying the warm weather at Rocket Park. Can you tell we're mother/daughter?

Steady, steady.... Ethan tries to pretend this is a balance beam!

He wouldn't go down the slide at first without his Mom!

Peek!

Ethan adores the swings. While Colin always asks for a gentle push, Ethan lives for underdogs and wants to always go faster and faster and faster!

Colin, just waking up one morning!





Playing with Charlie again!

Building legos... very serious work!


Helping Bubba with the garden!

The swings at Rocket Park.

Our sleeping Charlie.

And this.... is the most hilarous statue I've seen in quite awhile. He stands tall and proud facing the Fox River along the trail in St. Mary's park. My Dad and I passed it doing a quick walk with our nordic walking poles!
