cold, january saturday...

cold, january saturday: what do you do on a cold, january saturday when you can't go outside? Well, you dress UP and you boogie on DOWN, of course! Here are some pics from our Saturday. Hopefully these pictures will make you smile and bring some warmth to this cold day! Stay warm, Minnesota friends...

"like living in a park"...

"like living in a park": when bobby and i were first looking for a house we found an ad from our realty company that had the caption, "like living in a park". Bobby and I giggled and said that it sounded lovely, especially the part about the homeless guys asking for change and dogs pooping on your lawn. Our realtor smiled and added, "I wrote that caption." Whoops! Well, anyways...today's adventure to Edinborough Park reminded me of that. The Park is located inside an apartment complex, so people actually live in a park - minus the homeless people and dogs, of course ;).

It was really fun! Take a look!

scooter fun

this is REALLy high up...can you see the people's balconies behind their heads?

sophia by a small waterfall

sister had to follow, but then realized she couldn't do it as well as livia...

tired out after all that fun...notice the cracker partially eaten in her hand?
