We had a great holiday weekend. We spend Memorial Day in Duluth with PapaBear. It was a tough, but good, day on the North Shore without Gramma Mona. We saw a boat come through the canal and the twins said "BIG BOAT" and "BIG WATER." It was SO cold and windy. It was 75 degrees in Minneapolis and when we got to Canal Park, it was 45 degrees. Good thing I packed sweatshirts and socks and tennis shoes and jeans. Eric said we'd be fine with just wind breakers for them. They fed the birds too...kind of. When we threw the popcorn to the birds, they would run, get it and eat it before the birds got to it...I guess we've taught them the value of food! We went to Grandma's for lunch, and Eric said the Gramma Mona was actually with us. He was afraid if he told me that, I'd get all emotional, but he was right. I felt her presence the entire day....it was a great day. And the twins were so wonderful in the long car ride. So that was a bonus.
We went to Elm Creek Park Reserve and took the twins swimming. Jackson took off and ran right into the water....NO FEAR! Eric said he could hear the Baywatch music playing cuz mama was just about the go in after him. Then we realized that the man-made pond was only 3 feet deep...so everything was OK.
