swimming!

It was a bit overcast and cool today but if anything that helped keep the crowds away as we headed to Lifetime Fitness with auntie Trista and cousin Tyler for a swim in the zero depth pool (which is a pool that begins at zero inches and then tapers slowly to several feet deep, making it super fabulous for the girls).

Sophia and Anna loved the time spent there and Sophia was quickly walking to depths that had her neck deep in water, rather perplexing considering its been a battle for us lately just getting her to sit in the tub. But all is well that ends well and we are glad that she is conquering her fears of water.

Anna was very excited to be in the water too as she would lay on her tummy in the shallow waters and pretend she was swimming. Unfortunately I was unable to get any good pictures of the day as Lifetime has a no camera policy (at least I got a few shots in before being told).

eatin' good in the neighborhood

Tonight we headed down to our favorite S. Mpls burger joint for the girls first Jucy Lucy experience. The tasty winner of the evening however were the french fries with ketchup (fries being optional)

checking out the local fare

This morning we walked down to the Kingfield farmers market to check out some of the local fare. Luckily for the girls we forgot to pack their water cups and wouldn't you know it; as soon as we arrived at the market they started in about being thirsty. Fortunately we found a stand serving up fresh mango juice and boy was that a special treat.

That delicious mango juice did not last long and both girls were constant monitors for the other making sure each had equal turns.
