Fishing and Star Wars

WARNING - THE NEXT FEW POSTS WILL HAVE TONS OF PICTURES! I'm finally getting around to posting about some of the fun we've had this summer. A few weeks ago, we drove back to the Twin Cities to see my family and to go to the Science Museum in St. Paul for the Star Wars Exhibit. Alex is a big Star Wars fan so when I heard that the exhibit was coming to St. Paul, I knew he would enjoy himself.

I had some errands to run Sunday morning, so Alex, uncle Jerry and aunt Joellen packed a breakfast and ate on the pontoon boat. Alex was so excited to tell me all about his navigation skills when I returned because Jerry let him drive the boat. They also put a few fishing poles in the water, but not biters. It was difficult getting Alex away from the lake - he is all about fishing right now and is all business when he is fishing. Seriously - look at the picture above....that is his "fishing" face. After I finally got him out of the boat, he had to spend a few minutes with cousin Joel's dog Daisy. Daisy has recently been forced to share his domain with a new puppy so he was excited to have Alex's undivided attention to himself.




My bestest girlfriend Steph came with us to the science museum. You know you have a good girlfriend on your hands when you haven't seen each other in a few months, but you're able to pick up right where you left off.


Alex's favorite part was seeing all of the mucus that lives in your nose, armpits,ears, etc under the microscope. We eventually had to pull him away from that exhibit










More fun summer pictures to come tomorrow....
