Mikko finished his Little Gym class today and it was Show Week. Here he is getting his medal.
Bubble Time is his favorite
Mr. Silly
David came along to watch Mikko's Show. He wanted to take pictures with the camera.
Loved getting my camera back from him and seeing this lovely photo.Here is a video of the award ceremony.
Sorry it is upside down.
David was very proud to go up with Mikko to get his medal.
I got to spend Friday night with Britta! We went to the Twins game and stayed overnight at the Radisson. We had a blast even though the game sucked. 
Snack-Time - Poolside!
Dare Devil David
Riding Thomas the Train
Mr. Wild Hair
David loved "Raining On Mikko" - luckily Mikko didn't mind.
We turned the Roller Coaster into a Water Coaster - David thought it was the best idea ever!
Angie made Cherry Kool-Aid for the boys. They were like little hummingbirds flocking to her - pretty cute.
What a nice big brother.
Back to the Pool!
Lazy River Time - Greta, Carrie, Damon, Mikko, Bobby, Grandpa
David being David!
Finally getting big enough to do the big kid stuff! With some help from Daddy still : )
Enjoying our balcony.
Watching for ships.
The seagulls knew with all the kids playing in our room there would be a feast tonight! Even though the sign said don't feed them. Bobby commented that we break a lot of rules - uh oh!
Pillow Fight! 
Enjoying their Party Cups. David wanted the pink one of course!
Feeding the seagulls.
Dance Party - they pretty much trashed our hotel room!
There was a spectacular lightniing show from the big thunderstorm on the other side of Lake Superior. 
A fun filled day ends this way! In David fashion - only one sock on as usual!Video of Dance Party!
Video of the kids singing Happy Birthday to Grandma Marlene. We bought her a pie from Betty's Pies.
We really couldn't have had a more fun night with all the kids. They were wild wild wild but had so much fun together playing in the hotel room. We laughed so hard. It was a night to remember.
We met up with Grandma and Grandpa and the Fraser's in Duluth for the night. We had lunch at Blackwoods before heading to the waterpark. 
It was one of my most joyous memories so far being a Mom, watching my little boy so excited! He entertained our table, as well as anyone who saw him shreiking with glee.Here is a video of him watching it go by. He was so excited that he couldn't even look at the tran!
Sunday morning we ventured to Split Rock Lighthouse. A guided tour was starting just as we arrived so we decided to join the tour. Notice the rest of the tour going up the stairs in the background. I don't think I heard a word of the tour - just chasing Independent Mikko all over the place!
Playing with dirt during the tour - typical Mikkers!
Mikko w/ a juice pouch - shortly after we got busted for having it - we didn't know that you can't have food or any drinks on the grounds.
Up in the Lighthouse.
I walked with David down to the shore so we could see the lighthouse. Here he is holding his Treasure Map he got in the giftshop.
Here are all the stairs we had to climb back up! Yikes! Notice David is WAY ahead of me. He kept me moving though as I didn't know where he'd end up if I didn't catch up with him.
Taking a break from our climb.
We stayed at a Train hotel near Two Harbors. The hotel is made out of box cars. Thought it would be the perfect place to bring two boys!
Here is one end of the hotel so you can see how it was constructed.
Hoarder #2 in our house, walking down the hall.
Exploring the platform/hallway.
Another exterior shot.
Inside you wouldn't even know you were in a boxcar!
There was going to be a bonfire but it started to rain. David was super disappointed so we "roasted" marshmellows in front of the electric fireplace in our room. They got hot - it was really fun. David thought it was great.
The hotel was right near Betty's Pies so we headed there for dinner.
Enjoying pie!
