After we went down to Nannie and Paw Noska's, the boys went to Vacation Bible School at Triumphant Love Lutheran Church. Unfortunately, I took off to New Orleans the last day when they had their "show", so Kurt had to go to the "show" and didn't take any pictures! So the boys had fun learning great things at church all around the premise of a farm.
As I mentioned above, I headed to New Orleans with some girlfriends. We had a ton of fun, but there were some things in New Orleans, more specifically, on Bourbon Street that frightened me! Ok, now those of you who know me best, can wipe the tears of laughter off your cheeks. There were some things I saw there that even I was offended by - which takes a lot!!!!! I don't have many pictures because I wasn't in charge of the camera that weekend, but here is a great shot of Becky and Lissa enjoying participating the the song "It's Raining Men"!
Next we headed up to our Cabin for two weeks. Just before we got there Grandma and Papa Wagner surprised us with buying a new pontoon boat. We had so much fun on it. It was nice to have something big enough for all of us to ride on and the boys had a blast tubing behind it!
Matthew got to go into the Twin Cities one day with his cousin Alex and they visited the Museum of Science which was having a Star Wars display. It was right up their alley, they saw all of their favorite characters!
Then we all went to the Mall of America and hit Lego Land & the boys goofed around with their favorite sponge.......
And oh the rides, they boys rode for many, many hours with an unlimited pass!
Once they were tired of amusement rides we went over to our hotel, The Water Park of America. In this Radisson hotel, they finally created the perfect atmosphere for kids - bunk beds!!! We did initially have a brief argument over who would sleep on top, but that was soon resolved and peace was restored!
In Stillwater, Minnesota we had lunch at Lily's Grill & Malt Shop, the best Malt Shop ever. It was a race for me and Kurt to get any from Matt and Sam!
To round out a complete tour of summer, our cousins Darian, Jordan and Aunt Vicki came to visit for a week. We took them ice skating for the first time. They liked it so much we had to go again.
We also enjoyed the Children's Museum on a rare rainy day this summer. Matthew and Sam were trying to feed me the strangest meals in this picture. It was too funny, I think Sam said he was mixing everything with poop!
Other that going to the pool about every other day, this was super summer of '08!
