Summer Road Trip- Day 3

Day 3- Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis

Brother-Jason, me, Sister-Kelly

This bridge is ranked the #2 romantic spot in the Minneapolis area. My brother took his wedding pictures here and while there I saw a couple photographers doing engagements photos!

I love the city in the background of these pictures. First we walked the entire bridge taking pictures, seeing big fish below, seeing the water Dam falls, and at the end got some shaved ice for the kiddos!

The temperatures were super humid so we were sweaty!

Sister in Law-Kelly and I

After walking the bridge we went on a trail and waded in the water. The bridge we walked is in the background. It is a great path for walking or biking. I have many more pictures I could have shown of the family but I will save them for a later day to post them when I am missing family. :)

After our hot and humid walk here we met up with my mom's side of the family for dinner at Pizza Ranch! I wish I had taken some pictures of my aunts and cousins but I never got my camera out.

Day 4 of the trip was our last day. We were so busy the first couple days that we stayed in town and went to my cousins house to swim in her pool. I didn't take pictures there either.

Vacations go quickly but we had a wonderful time and many memories were made.

Liquid Chalk spray! Chalk Idea #7

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray. They are a bit similar but yet different. Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1. Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2. Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid. Mix well. 3. Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4. Go have fun!!! This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week. I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general. I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry. I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes. :) Ready, Set, Go! Have some fun! She is my little model... she kept saying "take my picture mom." She is like her

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly. I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos. Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you. This was a super easy one for those little hands. I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting. The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper. EASY, but they enjoyed it! :) It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge! :) I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
