It was a great weekend for Braxton and the family! Starting with the news Friday morning that Braxton was coming home, the whole weekend developed into a celebration. Throw in the fact that it was a "Circus Weekend" (a weekend when Paul & Gretchen are also with us), and it soon became an extravaganza of fun!!
The celebrating started on Friday as soon as Braxton returned home. We took Braxton to Red Robin for lunch. Braxton had a cheeseburger and fries while his mom had some sort of barbecue chicken-wrap.
When the girls returned home from school, we took everyone out for a round of mini-golf. The sun was shining, the air was warm, and it was a great day to be outdoors. Emma really enjoyed it and now calls mini-golfing her favorite thing to do.
Paul & Gretchen came down on Saturday and the house was filled with the noise of having all six children at home. Braxton played the Wii version of Tiger Woods PGA Golf and really enjoyed it. Braxton also got to go Kyaking with his mom on a local lake. They had a great time and were only mildly afraid of the giant Snapping Turtle lurking in the depths.
On Sunday we took the whole circus to the Minnesota Zoo. It was another great day! Everybody really enjoyed the zoo. Wee walked the Tropics Trail and the Minnesota Trail and then we rode the monorail. We stayed for the Dolphin show and packed up to go home.
The original plan was to stop at DQ for ice cream on the way home, but the skies grew dark and the tornado sirens sounded so we skipped the ice cream and went straight home. Some bad tornadoes touched down in Coon Rapids and Hugo, both a little north of where we live, but everything was ok for us. We went and got our DQ after dinner and after the storms had passed.
On Monday (Memorial Day) we went over to my Mom & Dad's house for some grilling and fun. Unfortunately, after finally hitting 80 degrees on Sunday, the temps dropped on Monday and it felt cold. So we ate indoors (but still grilled).
All-in-all, it was a terrific weekend. A fun-filled, Circus weekend, extravaganza for everybody!!
Welcome home, Braxton!!!
P.S. - pictures coming soon.
