Alley and Claire went to the zoo today they decided they wanted to do two things: see the new polar bear exibit, and eat contton candy.

First sighting of the bears

The Polar Bear gave a great show and the girls had a front row seat

Weekend of fun and family

Grandpa Alley went with us to Legofest in downtown Minneapolis. One of the exhibits you were invited to make something to fill in a giant map of US. Claire made a cow, hay bails, and a sunflower and put it in North Dakota.

This weekend we also went to a family reunion for the Alley/Eli family in Jamestown and Glenfield. It was neat to see Claire and Alley play in the same playground that I spent so many holidays at my Grandma's - although they sure don't look like little Syrian/ Lebanese girls :)

Princess castle

Claire and Alley made a princess castle while Grandpa Alley was here for a visit. They said the rounds pieces on top help guard the castle by shooting out hot lava.

Claire's rainbow house

Here is Claire at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Fargo - but lately she has been talking about her rainbow and purple houses. She apparently has other mommy and daddies at these houses. So I asked which house has her favorite mommy and she said rainbow. What is that rainbow house mom doing that I am not?
