This weekend we traveled to the cities to celebrate the Zander family summer birthdays. We stayed with Curt and Marti where the Saturday celebration took place. It is always fun for us to stay with them since all of our kids are so close in age and of course, they have a pool.
Friday night Megan and I along with my brother-in-law Curt T. and nephew Michael went to the Vikings vs Rams game. My sister Tammy had called and had four tickets from her employer if we wanted them. We took the LightRail from the Mall of America which was awesome since we didn’t have to mess with traffic and parking in downtown Minneapolis . It was a fun experience since it was are first professional football game. The high lite of the game had to be a Viking’s interception return for a touchdown which, by the way, just happened to happen at the time Megan decided she had to go the bathroom. I guess I can watch it on the sports.
Saturday morning we went to Morgan and Michael’s soccer games. They played at the same time but the fields were close to each other so we were able to catch some of each game. We were able to see Michael score his teams only goal of the game. That afternoon and evening was spent celebrating the birthdays. We visited, swam, opened presents and of course ate well. Curt and Marti had gone to a local meat store and had bought 6 different kinds of brats and a couple types of hamburgers. It was fun to taste brats such as wild rice mushroom, chicken Italain Herb, taco,…
Sunday we went to Build a Bear in the Mall of America. Megan and Jaden had received gift cards for Christmas from Curt and Marti. They had a blast. Megan picked out a puppy and dressed him in a basketball outfit. Jaden picked out a bear and dressed him in a soccer outfit (from the boy who told me he doesn't like sports.) At Build a Bear you choose which animal you want, you help stuff him, and even give him a heart. So now we have Butterscotch and Pokadot as new members of the family.

Curt and I found these shirts in Seattle and chose to reveal them this weekend. Even the Moms found time to relax. Megan goes down the new water slide.
