So Many Things to Do

2023-05-28

On Monday I got a haircut. And not from Dad.

We did school and Recess on Tuesday and Wednesday, like normal. Thursday morning Mom and I had doctor appointments, and then we drove up to the Cities. I got Culver's for lunch and we checked into our hotel and relaxed for a few hours.

Relaxing.

Later in the afternoon we went to the State Fair summer kickoff event with Freya, Kara, and Josh. We ate a lot of food, played trivia, and went down the big slide a few times.

These are keepers.

Cookies!

Will Dad share?

At trivia - we won!

Mom borrowed Dad's hat.

Friday morning we had the free hotel breakfast. Then we went to the National Cemetery to find Uncle Con's marker.

After the cemetery we went to Fort Snelling and took the tour.

After the fort, we hung out at Freya's house for a while until it was time to go to the baseball game. Unfortunately our team lost, but it was fun to be at the game. Dad even got one of the players to toss him a ball.

Beautiful evening to be at the ballpark.

We got back to the hotel really late. But we were up the next morning to eat more hotel breakfast. Mom and Dad dropped me off at Freya's for the rest of the weekend, and Kara took us to the zoo. After we got home and had lunch, we played Tears of the Kingdom.

Lunch!

Sunday I went to church with Kara, Josh, and Freya. We played at the house in the afternoon, and then Kara and Josh had people over for pizza.

And on Monday Mom and Dad came to pick me up. And then I went home.

And that was my very full week. Take care!
