Friday is fun day

Is this a great picture or what. I can't find where Lisa put the zoo pics.
Since I don't work Fridays anymore, I told the kids it would be fun day. The first one we had a treasure hunt. Next week we had a scavenger hunt, and the week after we went to the Minnesota Inventors Congress in Redwood Falls. The have it every year with all the new inventions people come up with. The kids got to make some blades for testing wind turbines, play a math mountain learning game and get some candy from a couple of the booths. Our pastor and his wife were up there with the new board game she "invented". I think they got 3rd prize. They also have some rock collectors society at the show too. Some guy from work is into rocks. He gave the kids some purple gemstones and we gave him the crystals that we found at the Arches last fall. The kids favorite thing was the grab bags of polished rocks. I think we bought 10 bags of them. We were sitting on the floor looking through them. Zander got a geode. We all had lots of jackpots.
After that we went to the Zoo at Ramsey park for a picnic and saw the animals. After that we went for a hike up the falls. I can't believe how big it is. We all had a great time.
