Buffalo Weekend

A couple weeks ago now, we had a quiet weekend in Buffalo. Friday morning, we all hopped in the car to meet Mitch's aunt in Woodbury and get in off to WI Dells with aunt and cousins. After that, we hit the Bell Museum (a natural history museum on the UofM campus). I was glad we stopped, the place was packed with showcases of every MN animal species you could ever imagine and also had a couple of more interactive rooms where the kids could touch snakes, beetles, etc.

Saturday night we had a campfire. The boys favorite thing to do is hold a big stick in the fire and get it to smoke (such boys).

Check out Grant, yes, I purposely took this picture to show just how ridiculous his face sometimes looks at the end of the day. His nose it constantly running and if he wipes it enough times with dirty hands and then eats a sticky popsicle ,this is what he ends up looking like. As far as the smile... never ask Grant to smile for a picture. This "stroke-like" appearance is what you get. I have no idea...

Sparklers!

Trying to start the tree on fire with the sparklers, before we told them they shouldn't do that.

The weather was SOOOO beautiful, we decided to take a quick ride to Lake Mariah State Park in Monticello and check out a few of the trails. They have 2 half mile nature trails that the boys just loved, and there were hardly any bugs! (photos taken by Intstagram)
