Buck Hill Season Passes - Warm Weather Assurance!

With the kiddo hanging up his hockey skates this season...

We knew we wanted to find something to keep both kids busy, now that we aren't committing to the ice rink...

They both enjoyed their snowboarding lessons so much last winter...

We decided to go for the season passes...

::GULP::

They are NOT CHEAP...

Hard to swallow that big of an expense all at once...

but, when you live in Minnesota, you have to embrace the winters, cold weather, snow, and all...

So here's to a great ski and snowboard season ahead...

Maybe the first of many?

But if I'm being honest, if it means NO SNOW and these amazing temps hitting 60 degrees with Thanksgiving NEXT WEEK...I'd buy these passes every year! 

HA!

Circus Juventas St Paul Minnesota

I look forward to this family date night every year - 

Circus Juventas in St. Paul Minnesota.

We've gone the last several years...maybe 5? 6? and it is just so so amazing.

My pictures are not - because hello, dark theater, acrobats, no flash photography, etc...

AND, I'm enjoying the show...

But seriously, check them out - 

this is one show you do not want to miss!

Tickets have gone up in price over the years, but I still find it a steal for the family to take in a 3 hour show for around $100...Bring a seat cushion - you'll need it!

*** Not a sponsored post...just simply one of my favorite things to do around the Twin Cities, so I wanted to share... ***

8 is Great! D's 8th Birthday Party!

Well, I thought we were done with birthday parties, specifically HOME birthday parties, because we simply do. not. have. the. space...

But...when we had such an awesome 9th birthday party for big sister a couple of months back...

We knew we should do the same for him.

They are practically twins, after all.

So...

for the big 8...

Eight? Really?

::CRY::

How DID it get so late so soon!!

We invited a few buddies over...

and while D knows his way around the kitchen better than I do, 

and probably would've loved a cake party...

We went with construction...

These were $20 each, on clearance for $12.

You pay easily that and more, to go to one of those party places that every weekend seems to find us at...celebrating this kid and that one, so this was a super fun, unique idea for us!

The boys got right to work...

thank God for amazing husbands & their best friends, who supervised all the tool usage!

These kids were so stinkin' adorable, working so hard on their projects!

Teamwork wins.

Every. Time!

We had three different kits to choose from - 

Had their been any airplanes, which looked really cool, I'd of gotten all the same thing - those...

However, I got a variety, and let the boys choose.

Everyone but one chose the monster truck.

Didn't they turn out soo great!

Happy Birthday Big D!

We love you forever, we love you for always.

Eden Prairie, Minnesota Ice Castles

Cold...and the pictures don't do it justice, and cold...

but in order to keep up with my blog booking...some day, when I get caught back up...

I need to keep up with the pictures on the bloggity blog.

So, not-so-great cell phone photos, without commentary,

on our not-so-great, COLD, 

night out at Ice Castles, Minnesota.
