Mall of America

Wednesday was spent at the Mall of America. The boys particularly enjoyed the characters that were walking around (Diego, Spongebob Squarepants, shrimp, shark, etc.), Legoland and the Nickelodeon rides. Brody pointed out ALL of the shows he knows, and sang most of the songs. Corey went on the Blue's Clues and Truck rides with his little brother as well.

Day at the Beach

Brody, Corey and I went to the beach/playground at Bryant Lake on Tuesday morning and had fun! We got there early enough that it wasn't too crowded or hot. We played in the water/sand for a while and then on the playground. Brody loves following his big brother around ... even to the top of a 25-foot twisty slide!

Swimming in 'Sota

On Monday night, the boys and I went over to Andy and Gretchen's house while she was golfing and hung out with him and their girls. Here are the boys swimming in the little pools out back with Anna, and the post-swim movie night. Brody also had fun "playing" with Ella ... or at least her toys. All of the kids seemed eager to get together again!

Bobo Birthday No. 3

So Brody's third 3rd Birthday Party was the day we arrived in Minnesota (the drive up from Kansas alone with the boys was long but not too bad). He got a kick out of the "fake cake" with the pretty lights. We played Cars cars and trucks, Curious George game and baseball with Grammy and Grandpa, and Kristin and John.

Coming Soon!

I'll try to do a longer update in the morning, but here is Corey (playing it cool), Brody (maybe "searching" like Diego?) and I at the Mall of America today. Enjoy!
