Memorial Day 2012

We decided to do a last little vacation before being forbidden to travel.  Grandma and Grandpa F decided to join us, and away to Duluth we went!!
This was just a laid back, no real plans sort of vacation.  So when the weather decided to be cool, cloudy and rainy, it was no big deal.  Thankfully we were wise and chose the hotel based on it's water park coolness!
Everyone seemed to have a good time.  Lots of fun was had, lots of food eaten, and minimal mischief was caused.  Only one of the two pool evacuations (that we knew about) was because of one of our kids...!

Just a random moose on the street...

 And a random monkey...

 Walking down Canal Park

 Checking out the lighthouse and scenery along the way

 a little windy that day

 Gooseberry Falls

 Labour inducing stairs

 checking out the train museum while waiting for our train ride

 train ride!!

 Swimming!  (I finally remembered to bring my camera down the last day)

I think Tennyson would have been happy to stay in the water park all day every day, but with the weather and the holiday weekend, it was super busy at times.  A little too busy/crazy for little kids.  We may need to throw this girl in swimming lessons and get her a pass to a pool.  She doesn't like to get her hair washed, but she's like a fish in a pool.  Go figure.  It was a fun time, nice to get away and relax.  Even if most mornings the kids were up before 7AM, after going to bed hours later than usual!  Yay for Duluth!

A year has come and gone...well in school days that is.  Tennyson loved pre-k this year, most days she asked if she could stay longer or go on days that weren't school days.  She was sad to be done, but is excited for next year when she can go three days a week instead of just two!  She had the best teachers and we wish they were teaching the four year old classes, but we are excited for new teachers, new friends and all sorts of new exciting things to come!

And just for fun...

Ch..ch...ch..ch...Changes!

Not everyone likes changes.
Some changes take a little getting used to.
Other changes take even longer to start to feel accustomed to.
And this one...well...I think some of us are having a harder time than others.
