The reason we were over in MN (besides visiting my wonderful parents just for fun) was to see my Aunt Sandy, cousin Laura, her husband Kevin, and their daughter Sadie (who will be 3 in a few weeks). They live over in Appleton, and made the trip over for a long weekend.
Jocelyn loves to ride her scooter!
Grandma helping her down the hill. I guess we don't really have any hills by us, so she's used to just riding on flat ground. She was a bit nervous going down the hills, especially on her bike.
It was pretty warm out on Saturday, so the girls headed right to the pool! They have it made now - Dad fills up the pool from the laundry room so they can have not freezing cold water. I'm quite certain we never had that luxury when we were little!
Jocelyn loved running thru the sprinkler...Sadie not so much.
I didn't get a picture of it, but Dad was sitting on the grass by the pool when Jocelyn got up with a cup of water, went over to him and dumped it all over his shorts! With no prompting from me! So Dad had to get her back with the hose.
As she's running, she's singing "You can't catch me! You can't catch me!"
Then she poured water on him again! What a little stink.
After nap time the girls decided to paint their nails. Jocelyn always has painted nails and loves to paint other people's nails.
Sadie wasn't quite sure she did a good enough job.
So she wanted to try herself. Only she just wanted to paint with it. So, naturally, we got out the finger paints instead!
They really should call it body painting. What little kid actually just keeps the paint on their fingers?!
Time to get clean! That was the grossest water I'd ever seen, and we even rinsed them off before they got in!
Monday we went to the zoo. We go to the zoo quite a bit, and this was the first time I'd ever seen the bears playing! They're normally just sleeping. It was so fun to watch them. And then they came right up to the glass and were swimming around there and putting their noses right on it. I was too busy watching to take any pictures!
The girls loved the farm - who doesn't love to feed goats?
They even had little brushes for the kids to use. Jocelyn and Sadie thought that was really fun. Poor goats.
Waiting for the dolphin show
Wouldn't that be a fun job?
This was a common scene all weekend. Sandy brought the girls coloring books (2 of the same one - smart lady) and they did a lot of coloring! Jocelyn told Sandy that she wants to be an artist when she grows up.
Monday night we headed outside for some bubbles, squirt guns and a fire.

Such great photos! Last summer when we went to the MN Zoo, the bears were swimming and trying to catch fish that were in the water too, it was the best show of the day!
