| Upon arrival in Hastings...dinner la casa Sinclair then Hastings Aquatic Center. Uncle Tom, Aunt Sarah, and Gwen joined us! |
 |
| Noah and Scott at the pottery studio. |
 |
| First stop...The Minnesota Zoo with intentions of focusing on the Dinosaur exhibit. Notice I had to contain Hayden and Jacob to make sure we made it to the Dinosaur exhibit (the furthest place from the entrance). |
 |
| Didn't make it too far. Boys love mud. |
 |
| And digging for bones. |
 |
| And how could you resist watching the Prairie Dogs? |
 |
| Dinosaur exhibit. We made it! |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| After lunch...Woodland Park. |
 |
| He finds the boys to be hilarious. |
 |
 |
| Jacob chased Hayden around the park trying his best to keep up with him. |
 |
 |
| Hayden the T-Rex tamer. |
 |
| Jacob the light haired warrior. |
 |
| Nathan the one with extra hands. |
 |
| Noah the fierce rider. |
 |
| She finally let me out of the stroller. |
 |
| Science Museum! The United States was occupied so I had them sit north of my next favorite place in the world. Scott was with us, Nathan was home with the babysitter. Much easier. |
 |
| After watching these two I am pretty sure they DO NOT have a future as news anchors. |
 |
| Myself either. |
 |
| The Pirate exhibit...very interesting! |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Touching real pirate treasure! |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Moving on from the Pirate exhibit...Jake was Hayden's little shadow. |
 |
| Looking through microscopes. |
 |
| Early training for Survivor. |
 |
 |
 |
| Looking through a lens of what a newborn sees. |
 |
 |
| In a dinosaur belly! |
 |
 |
| Noah and the tornado. |
 |
 |
 |
| Cossetta's! |
 |
| This time the police officer was giving out tickets. |
 |
| Something is wrong with Scott's watermelons. They don't taste good either. Just ask Noah. |
 |
| Traffic jam due to soccer game at the stadium. |
 |
| While Hayden and Jake were outside, Nathan was in 7th heaven. |
 |
| Hanging with cousin Noah. |
 |
| Dump truck. Sand box. Garden hose. Awesome. |
 |
| These are not all mine. |
 |
| Mid-morning movie. The Muppets Treasure Island. Nathan was napping and I was drinking. Drinking coffee. |
 |
| Last stop...Roadside park. |
 |
| Hayden had eyed this big red slide the first night he came into town. |
 |
| Finally! |
 |
| And while I was taking pictures of Noah and Hayden, this was happening behind me. I am pretty sure Jake was taking money for a turn to push his brother in the stroller. |
 |
| Nathan rode around the circle at least 4 times with the kids took turns pushing him. |
 |
| Notice baby in the swing second from right. He's mine. I left him there unattended while climbing the equipment to snap this pic. |
