Madeline's birthday extravaganza






Wow!! What a fabulous birthday weekend. Madeline came to Minnesota for her 8th birthday. She had fun many different ways.
1. We saw a play "Gralufalo" at the Childrens theater to start.
2.We sled down our "hills' in the back yard.
3.We did the swim park at the hotel Radisson. Yes, I went down what was dubbed the family friendly ride on a raft with Shel, Mady and Raley. Never again. I just kept remembering the gal said that the law of gravity was such that I would not fall off if I held on!!
4. We spent a day at MOA/American Girl. Lunch at the AG Bistro with Auntie Non.
5. Afternoon of Rides at the Nick Park at MOA with Wolfe cousins.
6. Overnight with Raley at the hotel with us ( this is when we did the swim park). I totally handled going around the river area on a tube. In the end did get hair wet ( hair color no no)
7. Movie in the room with Shel, Non, Mady and me. We saw High school musical 3.
8. Ice skating at Centennial Lakes. Rented skates for Mady, Shel and Non. Mady had never been in the tundra of our winters and what a thrill it was for her that we had 3 inches before she left. She totally enjoyed the snow.
