Uncle Alex! Uncle Alex!

Another visitor! We love visitors around here!

Andy's youngest brother, Alex, is here visiting. He got in on Friday and will stay until Friday the 31st. He then gets the wonderful privilege of flying back to Phoenix with me and the boys! He's so lucky ;)

In two short days we've managed to accomplish a lot. We are ALL tired! I can't imagine how the rest of the week pans out. Oh, and Friday morning we have a 7am flight...that means me trying to get all these knuckleheads out the door by 5am. Hhhmmmm....

Friday night stop: Buffalo Wild Wings-one of Alex's favorites
Saturday morning stop: Minnehaha falls. Very pretty, very neat, very GREEN! There is normally a giant water fall flowing here, but they closed it off or something (I wasn't paying attention to the explanation)







We rented bikes to ride around the whole "park" and even rode down (up) the Mississippi River.










Saturday night: Aquatennial Fireworks. A fireworks show shot off over the Mississippi River. It is supposed to be the largest fireworks display WEST of the Mississippi. It was long, 20 minutes or so, done to music, and really good. It doesn't get dark here until super late, so the fireworks didn't start until 10pm. I had some sleepy kids on my hands...
























Sunday: Day down by Lake Minnetonka. So far this is our favorite place in Minnesota. All the areas by this lake are really nice. We ate lunch on the lake and then played down by the beach. Beautiful day, 85 and sunny!



















Lake Minnetonka at it's finest
