Twins Game

As I wrote previously, we took Avery to a Twins game a few weekends ago. Finally, I can add some photos from the game. She slept for the first couple of innings, but then was wide awake for the rest of the game, clapping and cheering for the Twins! They lost a tough game, but we all had a good time.

Como Zoo & MN Twins game

Last weekend we ventured up to the Cities to meet John's parents & brother. Saturday we went to the Como Zoo in the morning/early afternoon, and headed to the Twins game that evening. Avery had tons of fun, it was perfect Zoo weather. She especially liked the monkeys and gorillas, the giraffes, and the seals. John and I couldn't believe she was so well-behaved at the game (although she slept for the first couple of innings!). It was a fun weekend, and we will definitely get back to Como before we move.

Happy 4th!

Avery was sporting her Patriotic dress for the 4th, just like last year! She wasn't able to stay up late enough to watch fireworks, but did go to the Rochesterfest parade last week (thanks Leslie!), where she got her little American flag. It was a cool 4th this year, which I guess is better than the 95 degree ones I remember as a kid! We hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend...can't believe it's July all ready!

Clifford...the Big, Red Dog

John had a couple of days off last week, and we spent one of them at the Children's Museum in St. Paul. The traveling exhibit is "Clifford, the Big, Red Dog", which happens to be one of Avery's favorite characters right now. She LOVED it there! We made it in time for stories with Clifford, and spent the rest of the morning/early afternoon exploring the museum. Avery not only enjoyed the Clifford area, but the water exploration, the tot spot, and the outside garden area as well. It was a fun day!
