On New Years Day, we ventured to one of the few places that was actually open. The <a href="http://www.elcharco.org.mx/Ingles/" target="_blank">San Miguel Botanical Gardens</a>.</div>

While a majority of our vacation was on our feet, we were glad we found a taxi to go to this one! I am certain we climbed 1,000 vertical feet up to this area, and it was well worth the $2 taxi ride... (side note - we did walk back home from this adventure, with a pit stop at the market for some snacks!) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The great part about vacations to different areas, is seeing what their "natural settings" contain. As it is a mountainous desert area, there were lots of cacti and other non-Minnesota plants. </div>

<br />
We stopped at Spirit Mountain on the way up to do the alpine slide and the zip line. The girls really enjoy the slide, but I don't think we will do the zip line again. The line is too long for the 15 seconds of excitement.<br />

All in all, it was a great party again. We did have some struggles with the jet-ski and the four-wheeler was in the shop, but we will be back in business next year!<br />
<br />
Can't wait for the 15th Annual 4th of July Celbration - let the planning begin!<br />

Generally, we spend 1-2 days leading up to the party working and prepping for the big day. <br />
<br />
This year was similar, except for the fact we did a bit of playing as well!<br />

Our new tradition is heading up the North Shore for a couple days.<br />
<br />
First we stop at Spirit Mountain to ride the alpine twister. Looks like it will be a couple more years until Sylvia can ride by herself!<br />

While the sun was out, the wind was howling and most days were in the 50's / 60's, so the girls were a bit disappointed that they had to be bundled up the whole time.<br />

Another new destination this year was to Ben and Bonnie's house in Hayward, WI. As you can see the change in local brought with it new temperatures. It was nice to be in shorts again!<br />
<br />
We stopped at the local wildlife park. It was pretty amazing, but the coolest part was how the goats would pull up the buckets of corn by themselves! The girls really got a kick out of them..<br />

Violet and Sylvia's first baby cousin was born on April 14th. His name is Daniel Louis. He seems pretty perfect. He just sleeps and snuggles. I guess he cries when he gets his diaper changed, but I don't believe his parents. He is just too perfect!<br />

Winter is finally here! Looking forward to more fun times both in
Woodbury and Cokato Lake throughout the rest of the winter! We may even
get around to another blog post :-)<br />

Between the 12 or so of us, we shared three cabins right on the water. I mean RIGHT on the water. Steps from our front (or back) door was Lake Superior.<br />
<br />
While the shore was more one large rock, than the millions of small Lake Superior rocks we are accustomed to, it did make for some fun adventures.<br />

For the most part the weather was great... it was a bit warm to start the trip, but we survived due to multiple fans in the cabin. As a matter of fact, it was enjoyed so much, we are already booked for 2016! See you in 11 months North Shore!<br />

<br />
Even though Jamie and I spent 5 years living in Duluth, we never once visited the zoo. I guess when you have kids, things change! So when we decided to check out the zoo, we didn't know what to expect. While small, I think the entire family was pleased with out visit.<br />

<br />
We participated in our first ever Color Run 5k. Basically it is tons of people that walk, run, whatever around the fairgrounds and go through "color stations" where the staff throw colored stuff onto you.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The jogging stroller was a great idea to get the girls from station to station. Here we had just fished up the blue and Violet is saying "Yes!!!" </div>

This past weekend we participated in the Children's 3K to raise money for all the great things at Children's NICU and in the afternoon had some family over for Violet's early birthday party.<br />
