Hayden

Its hard to find a place to begin. So much has go on the last week!

Happy Labor Day! This also equals end of summer. Oh well we had a wonderful summer and I can not complain. We went to my Aunt Dana's beautiful Cabin/Hunting Shack overlooking Lake Superior. Great weather, swimming in a relatively warm Lake Superior.

Okay rewind to a week from Saturday. We-My mom, dad, brandon left for the Cities stopping at our annual stop to Askov, MN for the Rutabaga Festival. Had yummy food, kids played and we enjoyed the small town charm. We make it to the Cities stop at Psycho Suzy's (A must!), Restoration Antiques (gorgeous stuff!) and to hotel for a quick swim. Hayden had an allergic reaction to the massive amounts of Chlorine in the pool, his face was all red and blotchy, he kept coughing and his eyes burned for like a half an hour out of the pool. Yikes. But all was well and we headed to Anoka for their bi monthly? Car Show.

Sunday we did the must do thing-Farmers Market. I LOVE the farmers market and am sad about what a crappy one we have up here (and they are way, way over price). Then we hit up Second Debut(Where i got my Coach Wallet) I bought Jessica Simpson ballet flats, cute and practical. Then we went to the shop up the street and both me and my mom bought a few things. Then it was to Wild Rumpus and Creative Kidstuff. I bought some adorable christmas presents for Breckin. Then we rode on the Lake Harriet Trolley. Hayden was in heaven. We even went in a tunnel. We got takeout from Ted Cook's 19th Hole(BBQ) and hit up Minnehaha Park-but we couldn't find it and settled for another park close by. The Kids played and played. We went to Jason and I's hotel and met Jason and Emily who just got down there and went Mini Golfing at Como and had ice cream at Conny's Creamy Cones. Then some swimming with Daddy!

Monday-State Fair Day! Early start at 8:00 and absolutely no traffic into the fairgrounds-bliss. Had a great fair day doing and eating everything! Hayden had fun riding the rides the kid is fearless! We did so much at the fair! We then at like 6 headed to Wisconsin Dells. Stopping at a nice McD's for supper and hitting up our hotel The BlackHawk Motel in the dells. We got to our very retro, good retro motel and enjoyed the in front of our room parking and their pools with waterslides. Nothing fancy but perfect for all of us.

Tuesday-Waterpark Day! Mt. Olympus was quite awesome. They have so much to do. We first did some go carts. Multilevel, pretty fast tracks. It was fun. Then we hit the waterpark-so much fun. Hayden had a blast. He wanted to go on the fastest biggest waterslides. But they have something for everyone. We waterparked until 3ish and then did rollercoasters and more go carts. Jason and Emily left around 6 but we stayed and went on rides inside and out. They have a bunch of little kid rides and big people rides too.

Wednesday-Was Waterpark Day part 2! See above! Much hotter out though and we left for a little while to check into a different hotel and had lunch. We hit up downtown Wisconsin Dells(Skip it! WAY WAY too expensive $14.00 for a pound of Fudge) But we found a way cool New Orleans restaurant where we got Benignets(sp?) French Doughnuts. And we got fresh Cheese Curds.

Thursday-Go home day. But wait first we were going to go to a little circus museum in Baraboo. IT was HUGE and informational. I know nothing about the Circus, now i do. It was cool. They had shows and a carousel and animals and Circus wagons and so much history! It was very neat. We were there until like 5! We had dinner at Paul Bunyans Cook Shanty in the Dells. It was okay, Haywards was MUCH better. We miss it!

Friday- I had Staff Development day. It was good to be back I'll have lots to do tomorrow! Hayden hung out with my Mom and Dad. They took him to the Depot and for a Train Ride. Hmmm little boy heaven!!!!
Saturday-Laundry, Cleaning and haircuts for the boys. Mommy did a little shopping at the mall too!
Sunday-Birthday party for cousin Treavor who turned 4. We set up the large Tent Jason and Mike are taking to Colorado for their hunting trip.

Enjoy the weather only a few weeks until Fall! Its just about here! School is in Session!
