Yes, I have been very delinquent in updating posts and I promised to do so and now I will start. This shows you how delinquent I've been. As the snow/rain mix is falling on the 15th of October (which is sooooo wrong...) I'm telling you about warm sunny September days. Ah, such is life. I'll try and keep up but things have been very happily busy these days, which is fantastic I must say.
Where we left off was on Labor Day weeeknd. We bid farewell to Uncle John, Auntie Melissa and Cousin Michael on Saturday and then soon departed Oma's house ourselves to head down to Pine Island.
Cailin had been complaining of a sore throat so Mike took the camper to PI and then I took the kids to try and find the Super Target in Rochester. I went to one, unloaded the kids, tredge into the store only to find out there are TWO Targets in Rochester. Who knew? And the one I needed to be at, where they had the Target Clinic was in the OTHER Target. Just my luck right? Well, not a big deal I thought, just give me directions and I'll find it. Well the two ladies didn't really have a clue on how to get to it, other than to say it's the "South" Target and to head south on the highway and I'm sure to see it. Well, after a lot of driving and no red bullseye in sight, I frantically (really not very happy) called my husband who grew up in the area. With some help from his parents I finally found the Target. They took good care of Cailin only to decide it was a virus and must run it's course. Keep up what we're doing and all is good, watch for signs of worsening she says. So we loaded up on medicine (just in case) and headed up to Grandma and Grandpa's.
We spent the day playing with toys, riding their tractors and visiting.
We headed over to see Grandma Bea and had a nice dinner with the family. Turns out Auntie Wanda was in town staying with Auntie Katrine, so we got to see them as well. The Adults had a nice bon fire after the kidlins went to bed. It was a gorgeous night!
Sunday we went to Oxbow Park and Zollman Zoo which is in Byron, MN - wow that is something! You wouldn't think a small town like Byron had a zoo, but does it ever! And it's FREE!!! Very nice! Here's the link: http://www.co.olmsted.mn.us/parks/oxbow_park_&_zoo.asp
It's an Olmstead County park and it has a very nice campground on a creek and then this zoo. They have all sorts of animals and it's tucked right in this nice little town of Byron (which was just about 15 miles from Grandma and Grandpa's place in Pine Island which was nice).
Andrew had a blast at the zoo. Auntie Wanda, Grandma and Grandpa went with us. Cailin, still not feeling 100% was very, very crabby to say the least.
She kept saying that she wanted to leave and pretty much whined the entire day, no matter what I said or did. But Andrew, he had a great time and would have stayed all day.
He fed the animals.
He showed his puppy to the animals.
He let his puppy 'rest' since they did so much walking.
He walked around talking and talking and talking and talking to anyone and anything that would show the least amount of interest.
He was a funny guy that day.
