Time is flying fast!

Summer is already coming soon enough!  The weather has been so inconsistent, you cannot tell if it is spring or summer.  So far both kids are done with school and now are at home with Dad.  We have had several events happen so quickly.  First things first, Avery had to have tubes placed in both ears. Her medication just did not work well enough for the infections to go away.  So once again another surgery. She was such a trooper.  Caleb, Avery, and I drove the night before the surgery to Mankato since she had to check in at 6am.  It was pretty tough to get the kids up by myself, but we made it in time.  Avery had the cutest room.  It was decked out with "Finding Nemo" decals all over the walls.  Thank goodness I packed an activity bag for Caleb. He kept himself busy coloring in his Spiderman book.  Avery never cried according to the nurses.  The surgery went so quick, it took about 10 minutes tops and then we were out of there.  Of course, since we had to get up so early, we headed back to the hotel room and Avery and I fell asleep, while Caleb watched the tv.

Doctor cleared us to go home!

We also went to Minneapolis for Memorial Day weekend with the Dunlop's.  We were able to spend time at the Mall of America where the kids had fun at the Nickelodeon Theme Park.  Daddy also had fun and went on some rides with Caleb.  Later that day, the dad's went to the Twins game while the mom's and kids played at the waterpark in our hotel "The Depot"

I think the best part was every 15 min. the park would sound like a train station and at the end tons of water would gush everywhere.  McKayla, Caleb, and even Avery had fun.

This was a great time because they had sections for all 3 of the kids to enjoy.  I even went down on the waterslide!

More events to come.  Summer has not officially started, so we hope to have great weather and fun times.
