Mondells in Minneapolis: 2nd Football Camp & Molly + Cayman Visit!!!

Weekdays:

Monday - Maci is still on a high of making the TFE team. Connor started day 1 of football camp and yes, it was a scorcher! The week of football camp is always toasty! Connor had a great time though and said they put other kids on skates HA! I had a good first day back at work and a nice talent review with my Optum Health team. I then met Grace and Connor at a plastic surgeon office. Connor decided at his last annual well check that he wanted the mole on his nose taken off. Well Derm thinks a plastic surgeon should to it. While in the waiting room, Connor says “I think I can wait a while” goodness child. We had a nice meeting with the Dr and have a plan for when the day comes that he is ready to sit still for it to be cut off.
Tuesday - Day 2 of football camp - more heat and fun! Maci then had an indoor soccer training. I had the option to go to a picnic in the evening for work but I was trying to get some things done at work and I officially got my offer letter for the new job/promotion :)
Wednesday - Connor had an ortho consult for his teeth with Clint in the morning. Thankfully that is still a little ways off for us. Then Connor had day 3 of football camp - more fun! Maci had another indoor soccer training. Afterward, her and her pal Violet dressed up as “Disgust” and then went to see “Inside Out 2” together. They crack us up! I worked on a major org change at work for my current job before I transfer end of the month. I then had a work dinner at Kona Grill for a development program Mouli and I co-sponsored for our top talent.

Thursday - Maci had gymnastics class in the morning. Connor then had his final day of football camp where they got autographs on a poster but of course my kid made friends with a wide receiver and got him to also sign his arm HAHAHA. I had a super busy day at work but all good. Then at night, Clint had many of the baseball coaches over for Bourbon drinking.

Friday :

I had several calls in the morning so Clint kindly picked up Molly and Cayman from the airport around 9a
We chatted with them for quite a bit when they made it to our house around 1030a then they took a nap since it was a super early flight.
While they napped, we got the rest of our needed work done.
Then we all chilled on the couch for Olympics watching, pizza eating and running Connor to and from Anna’s birthday party.
Around 9p we finally got our butts moving and headed out to Innkahoots for darts and drinks followed by a night cap at Stanchion.

Molly was annoyed Clint kept winning darts (2 times)

So we had him play left handed, she then won once HA

Saturday:

We slept until the start of the Women’s US Soccer game. Maci went nuts when Trinity Rodman scored in OT and thank goodness we got that W!
While we watched the game, Clint made us eggs and goetta
Once the game was over we had to get moving as we had a boat rental from 11-3
It was such an awesome day to be on a boat. We drove all over Lake Minnetonka. We stopped to jump in for a bit, we swam at one of the beachy areas and we pulled up in Wayzata for some Cov to go food for lunch :)
We then had a little chill time at the house after the boat and before we headed out to River Inn for a yummy dinner.
Once back home, we all laid on the couches and watched Olympics. Molly and I may have zonked while the guys really watched and eventually went to bed around 1030p.

Boat Fun with Aunt Molly

River Inn Dinner

Sunday:

We had debated doing either Valley Fair OR Twins Game but everyone was feeling a bit more of a chill day so we slept in and then ordered donuts.
After some Olympics watching, we headed out to take Cayman on a tour of the city. We went down by the Twins stadium, then to the Vikings Stadium, followed by U of Minnesota campus/arenas and finally over to Minnehaha Falls.
Once at the Falls, we got some sandwiches and beers while the kids got some ice cream. Then we took the 1 mile or so hike down the trail to where the Falls flow into the Mississippi River.
We headed back home and changed into our suits and headed over to the Hartys for some afternoon drinks, swimming and then our annual BW3 Chicken Wing dinner.
We played some lightning at the basketball hoop and then around 8p called it and headed inside to relax.
We didn’t stay up late b/c back to work and an early flight home time for them the next day.
