Apple Orchard

We decided to do something fun and go to the Apple Orchard today. It wasn't exactly the best day to have chosen but we still had fun watching anna have fun.

Playing in the leaves

We were bored so I got creative and decided to make a leaf pile. Anna was loving the idea of playing in them. :)

This is Anna's new princess bed that grandma bought her. She absolutely loved it. While eric was gone Anna, Grandma Robin and I stayed at the hotel and Anna had her first experience in a big pool. She liked it so much that she wantedus to let her go so she could swim on her own. We obviously didn't do that.

After the pool we went back to the room and she was just a bit tuckered out. We put a movie on and she was gone within 20 minutes. :)
This is her just looking absolutely adorable.

We were trying to get anna to do her new trick (crossing her eyes) that she learned while Kellie and Susie were here but she refused to do it for the camera.

Mini Golf at Moose Mountain

We had fun at moose mountain. Anna didn't do much golfing though. We would hit our ball and she would run after it. We had to be quicker than her or she would pick the ball up. She tried to get me a hole in one by putting my ball in the hole after I hit it but eric wouldn't let me count it. :) Oh well, she was also trying to "help" the people behind us and the people in front of us with their game also. It was quite an experience, that's for sure. :)

Underwater World

Yesterday we went to the MOA and went to the Underwater World Adventure. When we were getting our tickets, eric mentioned he was in the army and we ended up with a free year long membership so anyone who wants to come along with us can get 50% off their tickets and we get in free for a year. I thought that was pretty cool. Anyway, we had fun and anna was having a ball watching the fish swim over her head. And no the bear is not real. It sure looked real at first though.

Saturday night after the Fam left anna was having a blast with her new Care Bear, Funshine, or as anna calls it "Shiny Bear". It's almost as big as her. :)

On Saturday we went to cabelas with some of eric's family and friends and anna wanted to try her hand at driving a boat and a four wheeler. Anna had fun because we let her walk around and not be stuck in a cart. i think I am asking for trouble with this issue but we will see. :)

Ok, so my posts are all backwards but oh well. After the auto show we met up with eric's dad and walk around the Burnsville mall and anna discovered the rides down by the food court and had to try them out. After that we went to Baker's Square and ate some dinner and pie.

Cars

These are some of the better cars we saw. the first one is a Challenger that dad wants and the rest are just random classics. I LOVE Classics. :)

The Minneapolis car show

We went to the minneapolis car show yesterday and realized most cars are starting to look about the same these days. :) Anna is sitting in a dodge SRT Caliber which eric and I both thought we wanted but it's too small. She kept saying it was her car and she didn't want out.
Anna had a ball because we let her run free instead of being strapped to a stroller. She was impressively very obedient for having the freedom and so much space.
