What's new
Drew is excited. He was on a wait list to play T-ball. We found out last week he gets to play! He will play Fridays and Sundays starting in July. Last night he said he "better start practicing".
This past weekend Drew and I went to a 2 day truck pull in Ottertail, Mn with Papa, Mimi, Joey and Gerry. Drew was in heaven. He LOVES truck pulling. Well he loves tractor pulling too! Papa placed 4th of 16 trucks Friday night. We spent the night at a hotel in Perham and went back for more Saturday. Saturday Papa placed 12th of 15 trucks. Drew and Joey had a grand time running around, getting dirty and playing with other kids that were there. They are getting too big! Drew came up with the idea that we could be in Ottertail everyday and go to Perham to sleep in the hotel every night. I guess he had that much fun! Daddy stayed home for the weekend and did his own thing. He turned 39 on Friday.
Drew is attending Vacation Bible Camp this week. Yesterday was the first day. He came home telling me about Bolivia and that they have to drink dirty water. He went straight to his piggy bank. He was told every dollar would turn a brown drop of water into a blue drop. He found he had $3 in paper money he wants to take to VBC. When he was supposed to be sleeping last night, he was in his bed reciting the bible verse they had talked about. What a difference a year makes in what they learn and pay attention to.
At playground play group yesterday Drew found (another) new girlfriend. Her name is Emily. He talked about her all night. Yesterday morning when I woke Drew up for VBC he said, "I'm not done sleeping with my girlfriend". He said this before he saw Emily, so I'm not sure which girlfriend he was referring to. I am not ready for him to grow up!
Zackory is attending Auntie Daycare this week. So far so good. Dylan was picked up at noon and Joey went home after playground group. Well, the three 4 year olds did go to VBC for 3 hours of the day and playground play group for an hour. Then 1 hour of "rest time" in which Zackory did sleep (Drew did not). No wonder it was such a good day!
We ended the day at Chuck E Cheese for a birthday party. This whole week has stuff going on that is going to keep us busy. Our event for tonight was postponed until Thursday so today we will try to get back on schedule for naps and bedtime.

The MN Zoo and more
Drew and I finally made it to the MN Zoo last week. Drew has been asking to go there forever. We scored the free pass from the library and then had to wait for the weather to cooperate. Luckily it did! We were there for 6 hours. We saw EVERYTHING once and some things twice. Drew did not want to leave. He wanted to go through one more time. By the time we left we were exhausted. Drew slept all the way home while we sat it traffic.

We went down the Northern Trail stamping animals on a certificate. We rode in the wagon pulled by the John Deere to the farm. When we wanted to ride back we had to pass on the horse drawn wagon to wait for the John Deere. Drew was disappointed the nocturnal section was under construction, he wanted to see the bats. We can't wait to go again!
Thonander Weekend
The weekend before last we went to Mark and Wendy's cabin in South Haven for some Thonander family time. We all had a great time, especially Drew! Drew loves being the center of attention and boy was he! That's what happens when you are the only one under 20something.
He thought he was the coolest kid ever driving the boat!
The weather could have been nicer, but it was nice to hang out with family. We went fishing, boating, played yard games and board games, had good food and good times. Drew and Uncle Craig were the best of friends all day. Drew had so much fun he slept until 11 am the next day!

Keeping busy
The lunch Drew packed for the park. Not sure how he was going to eat the olives since he didn't pack a can opener!
He said he was a "trash collector"Today Drew and I met some of his friends from school at Hamel park. We had fun until it started to rain. When we left the park we stopped by Target. Brynn had gone there too. Brynn and Drew ate lunch together. We called it their "first date". After Target we stopped by the flower tent. We bought tomato plants, basil and cilantro along with a couple other flowers. Drew really enjoyed looking around and smelling everything! After that we went to the library. The drive thru book drop was closed for repairs so we HAD to go inside. Good thing we did, the MN Zoo pass was available! So sometime in the next week we will be going to the Zoo (for free!) It hasn't rained for awhile. This is good news for Drew. Daddy has early softball games tonight which means the team is going to Robert's after the games! However if it is raining even a little, Mommy has no plans on going to the games. Robert's would have to wait for Drew. We'll see....

It's June?!
Drew and Joey started a new activity today. It is a free supervised playground activity. They go for 1 1/4 hours twice a week for stories, music, crafts, games and play. They loved it! I loved it too because Mimi and I went for an hour long walk(we could've done without the 2 snakes and other critters we saw)!
We have been busy doing this and that. We have been spending a lot of time outside. Last week we went to French Park for the first time. The kids loved it. The playground is almost like a huge spider web with all the ropes to climb on. We met Joey's friends from school there. I did take Drew to the Doctor that afternoon. He had been saying there was a noise in his ear. He kept putting his ear up to my ear so I could hear the noise! He had lots of fluid in his ears, but no infection.
Memorial weekend was busy. Friday we had a pizza picnic and hung out outside with the neighbors. Saturday we went to Unity WI to see Papa drive Chances to 1st place at a truck pull. Sunday we opened the swimming pool and then spent the rest of the day with Grandma Luna, Grandpa Ron and Auntie Lisa. Monday we went to a Graduation party.
I am waiting for the boys to return home from Robert's after an outting with the softball boys. Drew should sleep well tonight, it's been a LONG couple of days.
