What a great vacation!

It's been a whirlwind weekend and start to this week.  We had tons of things going on!  Friday was the wedding.  James was the best man and he did a great job.  Mike was also in the wedding.  It was a nice ceremony and the reception was a good time.  Here are a few pictures of us all cleaned up and enjoying the wedding fun!

Saturday we just took it easy. We went to a brunch and then just relaxed at the hotel.  James went swimming with Mike and I took a nap. 

Sunday we went to North Dakota.  We drove down to Fargo and hit a few different places.  The first place we went was the tourist center to see the Woodchipper from the movie.  I was so excited to see this.  They had the "stunt double" out front.

After we visited the Woodchipper, we went to lunch at the Space Alien Grille and Bar.  It was pretty cool and had some good BBQ.



After lunch we went to the Red River Zoo.  It was a small zoo there in town.  It was nice because we got to see all the animals and read about them without the crowds.  It was a great little zoo.

After the zoo we went to the Children's Museum at Yunker Farm.  It was a really cool little museum.  It was built in what looks like an old farm house.  Each room had a different theme and tons of hands-on stuff to do.

Monday we went to the Royal Ontario Mint in Winnipeg.  We learned how coins are made.  Each of us got to hold a real gold bar.  That was kind of cool.

After the mint, we went to the Manitoba Children's Museum.  Now that was really cool!  They had a ton of interactive exhibits and lots of cool things for the kids to do.  It was so much fun!

Yesterday we flew home.  We were all dead tired and glad to be able to sleep in our own beds.

This morning James and I picked up the dogs and the cat from the pet hotel.  We then took the dogs with us on our walk to daycare.  By the time I got home, the dogs were really tired.  Right now all the animals are curled up with me on the couch sleeping.  Even Indy is here and not plotting our demise for boarding her.

We had a nice family vacation and now its back to our regular lives.
