I had a mapquest that told me it was 7 hrs and 12 min, so we didn't leave MN until 10:30am. I thought why rush and Steve works all day, so figured on getting here around supper time....we made it at 8:30pm,-uuggh-- very sick of driving. We had to stop for 2 meals, and then stopped for a break about half way, and probably spent too much time in Kmart. :) So we wasted probably 2 hours in breaks. Dreading having to go home, but we'll leave a little earlier, and not take as long of breaks?? It's a long boring trip. The last 3-4 hours to get to Minot is nothing, only a couple of gas stations to even stop at.
Well we are here and had a fun day today while Steve worked. We went to a park, a Scandinavian Village park, a mini golf place, and the mall.
We are staying with Steve in his cheap hotel room, which is fine, no breakfast or pool here though. :(
The kids devoured a McD's breakfast this morning (they love the eggs), and I had my first McGriddle... not the most healthiest thing, but it was yummy.
Tomorrow Steve will have an earlier day and we will check into the Sleep Inn for one night with a waterpark and it's also connected to the mall and maybe plan on going to the Zoo here, or a movie, depending on the weather. There is a bowling ally too, but not sure on that yet or even if they are open during the day. Then plan on spending the afternoon at the hotel waterpark. Going home on Friday morning.
can go 75mph on I94, almost seemed too fast at first but I got used to it :)
Went to Oak Park in Minot-- had a hard time finding it, but it was actually simple to find when we realized where it was
Hannah in her calm adorable state
Kids at the park doing their thing- Hannah running and Bailey swinging his bat
Kids posing
Bailey lost his baseball in the weeds-- he did find it, but got this cool pic in the mean time
Hannah found a big feather
cool sign in the park, told the kids to stand by it, and not sure what prompted Bailey to hig his sister, but he starting doing it it several other pictures later
We visited a Scandinavian Village Heritage Park-- the church
Dala Horse- National symbol of Sweden
kids by the viking statue
Bailey having fun by the Hans Christian Anderson statue
We also found the mini golf place, and had a fun time
Well I guess that is enough pictures for now :)
Steve got done with work early today, well about 4pm and then we all went and found a baseball field and another park for Hannah to play on. We did a little family style baseball towards the end. We went and ate at BWW then and had to get a few things at Walmart for breakfast tomorrow. ( we are doing cereal-- no more McD for breakfast :) We are all very tired, Steve is already trying to sleep and the kids and I will be shortly.
