The Carninal (or carnival as some like to call it)

Yesterday we went to the Slice parade – but it was cancelled due to rain. It was a bummer since I look forward to that awesome parade every year.

So, today we went to the Slice Carninal – it was a lot of fun… well, at first it wasn’t so fun. I got some sunscreen in my eye, so it was irritated for a bit. So Mom & I walked around, got some cotton candy, saw a band & relaxed for a bit.

Then we check out a little petting zoo.

Then the real fun began - the rides! I waited patiently with my tickets for my turn. We started out easy with the merry-go-round.We then went to a car ride.I then got real brave & told mom I wanted to go on the train by my self. I ran right up front to get the best seat. "Hurry Up everyone & get on board - the train it leaving!"

Mom & I then headed to the Dizzy Dragon ride - look there is a table in here for eating.

Hey this is fun!

Now I see why they call it the Dizzy Dragon ride - Wooah!

We had 3 tickets left & I decided to go on the cars again - but by myself this time...

HI Mom!
Check out my videos from the Carninal.

100 degrees

Yup - that's right - it was 100 degrees here yesterday. The weather man said with the heat index it was even hotter & complared to our coldest day this past winter it was 158 degrees difference!

So I ran thru the sprinklers to stay cool.

At Anutie Kari's farm, Billy enjoyed the sprinklers too!
Stay Cool! Anders

What do you do when it is too hot in MN???

You go to Wisconsin! Today Mom & I jumped the boarder to visit Auntie Kari & Uncle Brad & to my surprise, Grandma & Grandpa were there too.

The Boat ride was really nice - I love to pontoon!

Do I have something on my face?
I love to watch other boats go by. I told mom it feels like we are "going over a hill" when our boat hits their wave.

I love the feel of the wind in my hair - there really was a nice breeze.
We went fishing for about 2 minutes - I didn't catch anything.
Uncle Brad showed me some of his projects... a big bear

and a deer.Just before lunch we picked some fresh raspberries.
I ate a few while we picked.

There was a tiny tree frog on the berry bush - he hopped away.

After lunch we went swimming - I held on tight to Uncle Brad.
We played with our critter soakers again - Auntie Kari got Mom good!
I got Grandpa...
And Mommy too!

Auntie Kari showed off on the slide,

And I showed off some things I learned in swimming lessons like floating (so what if I have Uncle Brad & I life jacket to help).
I practiced my kicking & going back & forth between Brad & Grandpa.

Overall, we had a fun day, tried to stay cool & had a nice ride home.

Weekend Fun - Zoo Adventure

Hi All, this weekend was a crazy fun weekend, went to 2 parties, hung out with my cousins & played with my critter soakers. On Sunday Mom, Auntie Anna & I went to the zoo. I love the zoo. But I have to say I was a little disappointed that there were no elephants.

We saw this Giant Turtle... he was a little slow. Our next stop was to see the Monkeys - they were so silly!

Then we looked at the Zebra.

Took a photo with mom by the giraffe statue

Saw a real giraffe

Stopped for a refreshment break

Saw this awesome polar bear - he was HUGE!!!

There were 2, he was trying to get inside - I can't blame him, it was pretty hot out.

We saw bears swimming - that was pretty silly too.

Look at me, I'm a white bear!

Auntie Anna & I got squished pennies of the polar bear.

And we saw the Sparky the seal show.
Look - he can balance a ball on his nose.

For the ride home I got a sucker - just what every little boy needs or the ride home from the zoo
Will post more adventures soon,

Anders

Our Garden

This Spring Mom & I planted a veggie garden... it is really taken off in the past week. We have eaten a few meals of lettuce & tonight we picked radishes! YUCK! I don't like radishes.
