Zavoral Villa!

On Memorial Day, (May 25) we played with Stacy and Dan up in the cities.  We met at the aquarium, which is inside the Mall of America. It was the first time for Jeremy, Stacy and Dan. Tanner, Dallin and I have been there before with Grandma Nana, but that was almost 2 years ago. We all had a really great time!  Tanner wore these paper goggles the whole entire time. This tunnel is really, really long! Dallin was fascinated by the waterfalls. I love how so many kids are fascinated by moving water. It's the simple things in life, right? What a pose!

One day, Tanner asked me to paint his face. He got the idea from a school carnival that we were at a few days earlier. What a cute smile. Batman on one side. Shooting star on the other. He was pretty thrilled about it! Camping was spent at a state park just 20 minutes from our house. After setting up camp, we walked to the lake and threw rocks. Then, on our little nature walk we saw a woodpecker and a deer! We found this creation and played with it. Then, back at camp, we built a fire. The boys tried really hard to break wood by stepping on it. We roasted hotdogs. Dallin burned his hand when trying to get his hotdog off the hanger stick. Jeremy burned his hand...
