Frankie's Summer Vacation

Instead of our usual two day Dudes' Road Trip to Saint Louis, we opted for a stay-at home vacation this year. We definitely missed seeing our family down there -- and basking in 90+ degree heat and humidity -- we found a lot of fun close to home.

Monday was a little cold and gloomy, so we headed indoors to watch WALL-E. Frankie loved the movie - especially the first half, where just the two robots talked to each other.




After WALL-E -- Block E Theatres in downtown Minneapolis.


This was also Frankie's first movie in big kid underpants. He did a great job (with a potty break halfway through)!


One of the many things Frankie mastered on our weeklong vacation was riding his new scooter. He took to it right away and now does great turns and rides down hills!

On Wednesday, we took our act to the Como Zoo in Saint Paul. Frankie was kinda-sorta into the animals (mostly the Sea Lions) ...

And enjoying Sparky the Sea Lion's show!

But Frankie's favorite part of that day was Como Town. He went on the Frog Jump Ride --

Much more! Continued in the next post .......
