Summer 2011

Because it's really all I have time for, here is a list showcasing the "best of" our summer:

(12) We love the penguin exhibit at the zoo. We enjoy spending whole days at the zoo.

(11) Hunter attended an enrichment class at the Fair School in downtown Minneapolis. Bus picked him up at our house and dropped him off at the end of the program. I watched my boy grow up before my eyes! Mason enjoyed a lot of mommy time.

(10) Fantasy Football draft party #1 and #2 (#3 is happening next weekend)

(9) YMCA Preschool soccer (Mason earned his first medal) and 1st grade soccer (Hunter scored two goals during the season)

(8) St. Louis Park Pool (Hunter, determined to conquer what we call the Wipeout zone, taught himself to swim for the sole purpose of conquering the Wipeout zone; Mason grew a bit braver every time we swam this summer)

(7) We spent 4th of July with my parents and then Hunter and Mason stayed for a few days. They went fishing and went to the pool. They had an all round good time and completely exhausted my parents. They also had so much fun with cousin Hudson.

(6) The Mohs reunion at a YMCA campsite in northern Minnesota. A trampoline on the water and we had our own cabin. Cousins are awesome!

(5) Edina Aquatic Center- this year, the waterslide was a hit. And Hunter almost jumped off the high dive. I'm guessing that will be next year.

(4) The Splash Pad in St. Louis Park. Great park and great water fun! (We basically visited a new park every few days. I like to vary our activities so no one grows bored)

(3) Ninja Warrior. The boys will re-enact this show in my living room, at any park.... basically anywhere.

(2) The Wilderness Hotel- Wisconsin Dells. We love the Wild West side of that world.

(1) The Twins game against the Yankees. I know he is the enemy, but I think Derek Jeter is smokin' hot. And you can't beat the Legends level at Target Field. It is luxurious.

Ultimate #1- Lots of time with family and friends! So much fun! Memorable.
