Rainbows and the first trip to the Zoo!

My spring break has come to an end and it's back to reality tomorrow morning. Despite the cold weather, we had a great week at home! Luke and I had tons of quality time together. Some of the highlights of the week...
*Story hour at the Wild Rumpus book store. If you haven't been there you have to go! Luke loved all the animals they have.
*Swimming lessons
*Playdate with Evan Morris
*Choo Choo Bob's Trainstore in St. Paul. This is another really fun and FREE place. We met my friends Allison and Mackenzie there.
*Shopping with Grandma Pedersen
*Luke's first trip to the MN Zoo...see pictures below
Matt took the day off and we had such a great time at the zoo! It was a COLD day but Luke didn't seem to mind! We are hoping for better weather soon. This cold is getting old!

First rainbow of Spring

The monkeys...our favorite!

We bought a stuffed monkey to remember our fun day!

"I love my new monkey Milo!"

All tuckered out...

Swimming Lessons and Easter Bunny Breakfast!

Luke started swimming lessons today at the Chaska Community Center and was pretty excited about it. When I arrived Luke yelled, "Dada! Take a bath!" He has seven more weeks of lessons and should be ready for the lake this summer.

The whole family also attended an Easter Bunny Breakfast at Mount Olivet Church last weekend. It's a fundraiser for the Gustavus Library Associates and featured an Easter Bunny and the Teddy Bear Band.

First Black Eye and First Haircut!!

Luke had a week of firsts this past week. After tripping on a shoe by our back door, Luke fell into a wooden shelf and got quite the shiner on his eye. He's tough though and actually only cried for about 2 minutes. After Dad had been begging Mom to get Luke a haircut for about two months (no hockey mullets in this family!) Luke finally got his first haircut. He sat perfectly still for the haircut which lasted approximately 4 minutes.
