We joined Dan, Naomi and Gwendolyn at my in-law's place today. So we actually spent Memorial Day with veterans-- both Marla and David served in the military. The girls had a lot of fun playing with some little chairs that they found up in the attic, and below Dan discovered an old kite of his that had been hiding in their garage. It was overcast during lunch, but a really nice day to hang out outside.
Jamin was quick to make sure Zaria was out of the way at the bottom of the slide while Gwendolyn came down in this shot. We enjoyed dinner and visiting with Dan, Naomi and Gwendolyn this evening. It's actually been quite a while since our families have been busy. Zaria and Gwen enjoyed pushing a stroller together on the way to this park, and both enjoyed the slides, though Zaria only did partial slides
We went to the Bakken Museum today with a library pass, along with Gwendolyn, Dan and Naomi. We had fun playing with static and magnets, creating electrical music and learning a few things. The museum is in a beautiful old mansion on Lake Calhoun. Below is part of the roof with the lake park in the background. One thing I wouldn't recommend is bringing children under 4 to see the Frankenstein show-- we took Zaria out fairly early, and Gwendolyn got very scared waking up to the monster's voice after falling asleep in the darkened room.
Dan, Naomi and Gwendolyn came over to visit again this afternoon. The girls enjoyed trying on hats and showing each other their stuffed toys while Dan and Naomi went grocery shopping for some salad supplies. They are all very excited to move into their new house next week and have a little more room to live and work. Both will be working from home and may want me to come over a few days a week to watch Gwennie to help them get some work done. We're so glad they'll be close again!
