Adventures in the Cities

Just before school started we enjoys a fun filled weekend in the Twin Cities with my fam. Here are the highlights from our adventures.

We began our weekend with a picnic at Como Park, took in Como Zoo and Como Town.

Alex on his first carousel ride!
Brady enjoyed the ride too.

Kissin' the turtle for Aunt Jen.

Alex LOVES fish. I think he could stand for hours just watching and talking to them.

Our for a stroll with Uncle Jerry and Grandpa.

Brady's favorite rides at Como Town are always the cars. I think he rode them all.

Andy talked Brady into the teacups again this time. He was a little more brave and they were able to spin a bit faster than his first ride.

This is Jen dancing the Electric Slide with Alex. He giggled the whole time.

The boys both loved the train ride. Alex bounced up and down and said "Oohh!" the entire ride. He was so excited.

We polished off our evening with the boys first trip to Chuck E. Cheese. Brady was so excited he hardly knew what to do with himself. Alex really enjoyed this little car rides.

Alex played a round of whack-a-shark (what happened to the mole?). All he really wanted to do was hold the hammer and watch the sharks pop up and down.

Brady's game of choice - Skee Ball. He LOVES it. Here he is watching his jackpot of tickets spit out of the machine.

Yes, I mean jackpot. The kiddos won himself 125 tickets all in one game!

Little stinker beat us all by scoring 42,000 points all by himself. I think he hit those tiny corners worth 10,000 points a piece three times in that one game. He was SO excited!

Shootin' hoops was another favorite

Alex hangin' with Stuart Little

Even the big boys had lots of fun.

Brady enjoyed a few games of air hockey as well. It's always fun to beat daddy and Uncle Jerry.

What can I say, the kiddo loves the ticket muncher. 545 tickets for his big prize.

Brady was thrilled to pieces to come home with a new Chuck E. Cheese bat and ball. Like we need more of those around our house!

Sunday was a beautiful day, so Jen and Jerry took us to the Heart of the City. Great park! The boys loved playing in the water.

On this crazy fountain the water pressure changes when you touch the water. Brady thought it was great. Yes, he is trying to 'sit' on the water. :)

Alex sporting Uncle Jerry's hat and enjoying the cool water.

We love visiting Jen and Jer!

I just love the surpised look on Brady's face in this one. My poor sister was soaked, but Brady sure had a ton of fun!
