Summer Fun - Minnehaha Falls!

Thanks to some NA Leadership meetings, I had dinner at 6 Smith on Lake Minnetonka Tuesday night.  Clint then headed to Nashville for work Wed-Thurs.  While dad was gone, some of our online ordering for fall clothing arrived for the kids.  We had to take pictures of our run way fun since Dad didn't get to join in on the celebration - Maci really enjoys this more than Connor :)
The Bengal Scarf is Way Cooler but Didn't Match her Dress HA
 "What are we doing mom?!"
Yep - Dolphin and then Bengal PJ Bottoms
Friday - I stayed at work a little longer than planned but got a lot of good planning done which is providing me a very peaceful weekend!  Clint ordered pizza and when I got home with the kiddos it was already here for us - yay!  I paid bills and moved money to savings since bonuses hit the account today - Yippee!!  While I did that, Connor was put to bed and Maci played on her iPad.  Clint and I watched some TV and had a very low key evening.

Saturday - Clint did the lawn in the morning while Clint played in his crib.  Maci and I took an early morning stroll before we ran errands together.  Boomer got a grooming, I returned some shoes and picked up other shoes from the repair shop.  During our drive, Maci talked to me about her favorite teacher, Miss Kim.  She really wants to help make Miss Kim feel better (breast cancer) and she was telling me how she offered to share her wig with Miss Kim and let her try it on.  I am pretty sure Miss Kim won't fit Maci's wig nor would she want a Rapunzel braid 🤣 but I almost had a tear in my eye hearing what a sweet girl we are raising!  Maci loves her and Miss Kim is a pretty great lady - we can't wait for her benefit at the end of the month.  The Mondell family is going after many of the silent auction items all in an effort to support and aid Miss Kim because she sure has made a great impression on our wee one! 

After errands, we woke Connor from a nap and headed to Minnehaha Falls for a family hike.  It got a little hotter than we had thought the weather would be so this led to a bit of a warm outdoor adventure.  It made the ice balls at the end of the hike that much more satisfying!  After playing at the park a bit, we drove around to allow the kids to take another snooze.  We were back at the house around dinner time and allowed Connor to crash around 615p - that day in the sun wore him out!  Clint and I ordered Chino Latino delivery via bite squad and enjoyed some yummy tacos and chicken pot stickers.  Maci said it all looked gross and only ate a fortune cookie - we need to remember to give her more vitamins HA

We each took showers since we were sticky from the hot sun and while I waited for Clint to finish his, I totally fell asleep on the couch (8p) - man sun wipes you out!!!

Sunday - We started the morning with an early donut run while Clint headed to Home Depot for some landscaping needs.  The kids and I had an outdoor picnic back at home and waited for Clint to show up with rocks and mulch.  I did laundry and ordered groceries inside while Clint redid the landscaping on the side yard (opposite side of the driveway).  Connor is now sleeping, we are awaiting our grocery delivery and Maci is watching the Troll movie.  Once Connor is up and errands are done we are off to the pool for a fun afternoon in the sun . . . I am sure this will lead to early bedtimes yet again - that is what summer is good for!
Donut Picnic!

We are excited to get through this week and head to the WI Dells with my sister Meghan and her family and Clint's sister Patricia and Drew + buddy for a long weekend of water park fun!

We hope you are all living up this summer fun!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
