The Great Minnesota Get-Together

A few pictures from the 2010 Minnesota State Fair

The motorcycles were one of my favorites as a kid,

and Milo seemed to really like them too

He was NOT a fan of the dinosaur ride!

He's already making his Christmas wish-list!

Family Time

Yesterday we took Milo to Como Zoo and Comotown. A beautiful day and so much fun!

In other news, a few weeks ago, Tod and I got to enjoy a little adults-only getaway with our friends Scott and Stef, who we haven't seen since Milo was just a few months old. We were invited to a wedding in Green Bay so we spent a couple days before the wedding in Door County, Wisconsin. We had a great time catching up with Scott and Stef, and Door County was amazing! The wedding in Green Bay (at Lambeau Field!) was a lot of fun as well. It was a fun little vacation.

While we were away, Milo split his his time with my sisters and Tod's family. He got to do lots of fun things, but one story in particular is worth mentioning. As the story goes, after picking up Milo from school one day, Meghan and Alex took him over to their house for dinner. Rookies that they are, they did not pack an extra set of clothes. And while Milo is pretty much potty trained, he does have the occasional accident, and of course had to have one that evening. No clothes to change him into, so what did they do? They got an old pair of Meg's basketball shorts and cinched them together with a chip clip! Milo the prize fighter was born! I have been trying for weeks to upload a video that they took but can't get it to work, so a picture will have to do. The victim in the photo is uncle Sean. No wonder the kid loves his aunties and uncles so much!

Thomas!

Today we took Milo to "A Day Out With Thomas." It was a great time despite the sweltering heat!
