New Years visit to Minnesota

The iPad provided fantastic travel distraction

We went to the Community Center a few times.  Simon LOVED this little water slide.

Whee!

It was hard to get a good picture of him because he was always on the move in the very shallow area

He copied a lot of other kids and went down on his tummy, too.  Grandma was there to make sure his landing was okay!

Grandma Karen also had the great idea to go to the Train Museum!  He got to work controls to drive a Thomas train around a track, and we saw lots of other trains too!

Grandma made him an "S" pancake.  "S - Simon!" he said.

We went to Taste of Scandinavia for breakfast, and there was a very tame duck right outside looking for handouts.  He LOVED following it for a while.

We went to Caribou for a kids hot chocolate

 

We also got to play with Finn and Graham one night.  Simon took notes on how to eat ALL of your pizza. :)

We also rode the little choo-choo train at Rosedale. 

Videos of the choo-choo train and the pool to follow!
