This week was uber busy but in such a fun way! We had exciting visitors every night starting on Tuesday :) Maci was still at daycare Monday-Wednesday and was able to still have a great time even in a condensed week.
Dance Party!
Building a Train
Construction Girl Maci
Tuesday - Andy Green (Clint's good friend from high school) was in town for a business trip so we had him over for a grill out dinner and to enjoy a bonfire outside at night - what great weather! The Green's spoiled Miss Maci by sending a fun gift of paper bag puppets. Thank you Greens!
Wednesday - Clint's parents' were coming into town but they took a crazy route through Michigan and didn't get here until after Maci and my bedtime. Clint however enjoyed making them some food upon their arrival and catching up for about an hour before he too headed to bed.
Thursday - Clint took the day off to spend time with his parents and Maci. They had a fun day of walking around Lake Calhoun and feeding the ducks before my Aunt Sue and Mike arrived from their flight in the late afternoon. I then got myself out of work slightly after 5 to join in on the fun, order pizza and kick off the weekend!
Friday - Clint's parents headed out for the rest of their trip to WY around 9a. The rest of us then got ready for a FUN long day at the MN State Fair! We had such a blast and Maci really was a good girl for being there from about 11a until 6p. So many good foods, laughter and rides.

Saturday - We got up and headed to Maci's first gym class of the season! Maci was a natural and was so excited to be back in the gym. Today she was leaping onto the uneven bar by herself - girl has no fear! Afterward, we headed to Maynard's along with the Zehr family for brunch. We then had a very nice chill day at the house while M napped. Miss Kaitlin then came over to watch Maci for us so we could hit the town for a night out. We had dinner at Chino Latino (YUM) and then went to Uptown Bar to drink on the rooftop (water for me) and then to Libertarian rooftop (sparkling lemonade) before heading home to relieve the sitter around 1030p.
Sunday - Kicked off the day with some breakfast bagel sandwiches. We then hit the road to Minnehaha Falls - such an awesome day to putz around outside! We walked to the falls and Maci had a ball walking into the water. Afterward, we headed to Lake Calhoun to have some yummy fish tacos as a late lunch/early dinner. We are now hanging around the house getting ready for the coming week. We may head for some ice cream in a bit before calling it a night.
We have another busy week ahead. Aunt Sue & Mike fly home tomorrow. Clint then heads to Milwaukee for work on Tuesday. I work another short week since I am taking Friday off to join Clint in Milwaukee with Maci to visit our friends Trip & Lori for the holiday weekend. Maci and I will make the 6 hour drive together on Friday morning/early afternoon, wish us luck!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & Baby Boy Mondell
