the long weekend

Friday Bill was off work, so we took the kids to the Como Zoo. Ran into my friend Molly who I used to work with at Lifetime, and he parents and little brother and sister. We bought a few tickets so the kids could go on a few rides, and they have this huge playground thing in the middle of Como Town that Jacob loved.

Met Megan (another Lifetime survivor) and her husband Brendan at Veterans Park in Richfield for fireworks. We got there about 2 minutes before they started b/c Bill insisted on stopping at Walgreens for snacks. Men. Good thing Megan saved us seats!!! Jacob was of course freaked out by the noise and kept saying "it's ok, it's ok" the whole time ;-) Today was uneventful, went to church and thenMcDonalds with mom and Wayne, did a little grocery shopping.

Now it's back to the busy-ness of summer. Emily didn't have baseball last week, and my team didn't have a game. Emily has 2 this week, and I'll be going to watch my team on Tuesday. Jacob starts school tomorrow: Mon-Thurs 9-10:30 and next week we have VBS. I can't wait!!! VBS week is so exhausting but so much fun.
