Teddy Bear Park, Ice Cream, Parade, Movie Adventure

We were visiting my dad and sister this weekend and they live near the Wisconsin/ Minnesota border with lots of different things to do.

If you are ever in Stillwater Minnesota then you will need to take a visit with your kids to Teddy Bear Park.

I enjoyed this park since it is recommended for kids 7 and under. They playground seems very clean and organized. My two kids had a lot of fun. We played ate a picnic lunch and then played some more. :)

I also had my 10 year high school reunion this weekend and was happy to go but to be honest I was very sad at the turn out of the event. :( I have not seen many of them in years. I really lost touch with many of them after I lost my mom to Leukemia. Relationships seem to change with a big loss and with college. Majority of the people I hung out with in school were not at the reunion so I was sad. :(

After playing and a long car ride home we had to stop and eat some ice cream!

While on our visit we also enjoyed a movie at the theater watching, Ice Age. A town near my dad's was also doing their festival and we were able to go and watch the parade and get a lot of candy thrown at us. :)
