Abbie heads down the skyway in St. Paul, ready for adventures at the Children's Museum on a Daddy/Abbie day.

Little gardener!

We don't know too many people who do laundry like this any more, but some skills are good to know anyway.

Checking for mail.

One of Abbie's favorite parts of the Children's Museum is the water play area. Here, she's sending ping pong balls through water-filled tubes.

At certain times during the day the Museum has “music and movement” sessions where they bring out fun toys to play with.

Next up, a trip to the MN Zoo on a Mommy/Abbie day. Here we're getting set for the monorail ride.

Abbie checks out the tiger cubs while Mama tiger looks on.

Abbie and friend take a break at the “Replay Park,” where all the play equipment is made from recycled plastic (or so the zoo literature tells us).

Unfortunately (fortunately?), this was the only chicken Abbie could get close to at the Family Farm exhibit.

Every kid's gotta walk the wall once in a while.

Friend Alex Shuck accompanied Abbie, Lucas, and Chuck to the golden arches the day Mommy and friends put together Robin and Dan's wedding invitations.

Wheeeeeee!

Big kid Lucas plays with the flag on his one-wheel trailer while Abbie and Alex get settled in the Burley.

Swimmer Abbie!

Abbie and Ashley made their own traffic jam in Peterson's garage.

Meanwhile Lucas was outside drawing a castle in the driveway. See the moat?

Big hug!
