Our Weekend.....

Friday night sometime around midnight, after the 4 hour drive.
not much open at that time of night. lol
the kids would keep looking to the night sky, and asking where did all the stars go??? the best answer i had at the time was, you'll see them again late Sunday night, when we get back home.
i thought that was a pretty good answer for a guy who was up since 4 a.m. the morning before!! LOL

i even squeezed a couple rides in on the Pugsley. :))
one around Burnsville from 4 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. sat. morning.
the other was around the Andover area from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Sunday morning.
i let Z sleep in each morning since there would be no singletrack riding due to the rains.













Our Saturday began at 9 a.m.
the kids had no idea what to expect. it has been 10 years since either Cindi or i have been to the State Zoo, it did not disappoint as usual.
we started with the outside stuff since rain was expected later in the morning. we made it 3/4's of the walk and then the rains came, which was ok.




this would be the theme of the day, dad walking ahead with the kids, while mom snapped pictures.








































It was nice to see Cindi get a chance to really sit and share some times with her family. i found it was nice to get to know this side of Cindi's family a little more.




Zack and Jenna got to play with cousins Jackson and Anice, at Jacksons mommy and daddys new home in Andover, Mn.

Heading South.....

To the "BIG CITY", oh the horror!!!!
We have free tickets to the state zoo (through Jenna's headstart class), way to mom and our Super J!!!!!
We're spending Friday night in Eagan or Apple Valley, and the whole day at the zoo on saturday. We're taking the bikes also, yippie!!
I've been told Salem Hills would be a good spot to introduce our 6 year old Zack to some singletrack, thinking Sunday would be good for this adventure.
Any of you locals have any other info you could pass my way?? Thanks in advance!!
So if you're out and about on Sunday and see an old guy on a Pugsley trying to catch a 6 year old on his Trek with a big grin on his face, give a shout out!! ;)
Peace........
