Memorial Day Weekend 2011

A perfect weekend at home, depite the rain! We saw Kung Fu Panda 2 with some great friends-- Marcia and Audrey and Lauren. We went on rides at the Mall of America, did a little fun shopping, Jason did major yard work. We had a blast at Edinborough Park in Edina (an indoor playground and gym) with our usual crew and awesome friends, Rich, Marcia, Audrey, and Lauren. After all that play, we went to Fuddrucker's for burgers. Monday on Memorial Day, we visited my Grandpa Bobby and had lunch with my Mom. We took Jack to Chuck E. Cheese to play some games-- one of his favorite things. Also had the great blessing of our 2 favorite prayer warriors to come to our home to continue to claim my healing, and all of our healing in Jesus' name. A huge thanks to Elvin and Mel!

They scored lots of tickets on this one!

All of the crappy....ehh lovely prizes that need to come home with us. Darn Chuck E. Cheese!

Take a wild guess where we are eating here....

4 Generations! Grandpa is 90.

The gym at Edinborough. Jack totally rocked at basketball. He got 10 baskets in a row. Was he beaming!

Edinborough is beautiful with trees and waterfalls; gorgeous indoor setting.

Jack was exhausted after making baskets and running and jumping for 2 hours straight!

Artwork by Jack. He did his best at sounding-out and spelling "Krabby Patty" from Spongebob.

Rolie Polie got to come for a ride to Dairy Queen, however we forgot to get her some ice cream. Like her name, she doesn't need any though.

He is still in the moustache-stage. In this pic, he added his dragon slippers and a plush back pack with a cell phone inside. LOL! He was trying to put on a very "tough" face. He is the most imaginative child I have ever seen.

He was trying to impress the neighbor girl, he must have thought she preferred older men. Like I say, still in the moustache stage!

More Spongebob-inspired artwork. This one features Larry the Lobster, a jellyfish, and the Flying Dutchman.

We took Jason's grandma Johnson out for lunch at Ci Ci's Pizza. She is 87! Both she and Jack adore Ci Ci's, while Jason and I merely tolerate it.

He was trying to teach Miss Amber how to use chop-sticks. Trying is the keyword here. As in, he needs practice himself.

Goodness Gracious! We are eating out in nearly all of our pictures. LOL. (Although I will say we did NOT eat at Chuck E. Cheese-- blech!)
