Minnesota

For Memorial Day weekend, we headed up to Minnesota to visit Grandma Becky, Grandpa Jim, Uncle Mark and (most importantly in Amelia's eyes) Raf.  Saturday we headed to the theme park at the Mall of America (one day Amelia may realize that there's shopping there too!) then to Mark's for dinner and smores around the bonfire.  It warmed up on Sunday for our trip to the Twins game.  Amelia paid a bit more attention to the game this year in the run up to her T-Ball sessions this summer.

New Room Finished!

Amelia is all moved into her new room and is doing a wonderful job of keeping it tidy so far.  It's a lot more purple than it looks in the pictures.  We now need to add a fan and some black out curtains.  But that's next week's task list :)

Clothes

The other night when Amelia was supposed to be sleeping, she decided to pick out her outfits for the next couple of weeks.  Very cute, and impressive matching of outfits, but the breaking of hangers and repeated putting away of clothes was not Mummy's favorite activity.

Gymnastics

Amelia has been doing gymnastics for a year now and really enjoys it.  For the last class of the year, the Mummies got to join in.  Other Moms did cartwheels.  Amelia and I skipped.

Florida I - Disney Animal Kingdom

We started our Florida trip with a day at Disney's Animal Kingdom.  After a slow start, Amelia discovered the drums, the joy of anticipation of meeting characters, and the feeling of accomplishment of having got their autograph.  The actual act of talking to them, was still a bit daunting though :D.  The Lion King show was amazing. . . maybe next time we go Amelia will be awake for it.  She did enjoy Finding Nemo though (Grandma dozed through that one).

Florida II - Disney Magic Kingdom

We visited Magic Kingdom twice.  Once in the evening for Mickey's Christmas Party then for the whole day.  We were shocked at how late we lasted.  Amelia enjoyed the parades, meeting princesses (and anyone else we ran into), and even a few rides.  Apparently, the Pooh ride was too scary though.

Florida III - Sea World

Sea World was a hit, although not for obvious reasons.  Amelia was 1/2" over the minimum ride height for the kiddy rollercoasters and loved them.  We also enjoyed seeing the animals, and the Sesame Street Show, ending the day with s'mores.
