Cute Cows

I dressed Aidan & Kiersten up as cows to get free lunch at Chick-Fil-A last week. Aren't they the cutest cows you have ever seen?

July 4th in MN

We headed north to celebrate the Fourth of July.

The first stop was a Minnesota Twins game in their new ballpark.

Next we headed up to the lake. Aidan was really excited to try all the fun activities. It was his first time to ride in a tube behind the boat by himself. Kiersten in her life jacket. Aidan and the sparklers Kiersten with Aunt Karen at the rainy campfire

Birthday-eve dinner at Buca, his choice. Birthday Breakfast Kiersten enjoyed a bit of sprinkle donut too. Party at Rainforest Cafe with some friends
