Vacation

We went on vacation for a few days up north. The first day of our vacation we hiked the highest point in Minnesota! The hike was pretty rough, and took a long time, but we all made it to the top. We forgot to bring our phones on the hike with us though, so we didn't get a picture.
The second day we drove even farther north; into Canada! Kim had never been out of the country before, and we were pretty close so we decided-why not?
While in Canada we made a couple stops. First we went to Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park.



It was a really park with a lot of different things to do. We didn't do much more than look at the falls, though. It was really cold. It's only a couple hours north of us, and we thought the weather would be similar to the twin cities, but it was way colder!

After going to the falls we went to a museum, and Joslyn had a really good time!

This is her in an old jail.
And finally, our neighbor is Canadian, and he told us if we wanted to do a truly Canadian thing while there, we had to stop at Tim Horton's. It's a major doughnut chain in Canada, and everyone gets their Tim bits (doughnut holes). We liked the Tim bits, but their signature doughnuts weren't the best.

And now just some awesome pictures of our adorable kiddos!
Dorian started solids, and he loves everything!

Dorian loves the swing!

Dorian is such a happy boy!
Joslyn made a giant tower (with a little help)

Joslyn has started to use her imagination, and it has been so much fun! She is doing a lot a pretend play, and has started building things with her blocks!

Joslyn's birthday

This Saturday Joslyn turned 2! I can't believe how fast these 2 years a have gone! She is so sweet and loves her brother so much! She talks non-stop, and asks to play in the pool every day!

For her birthday we went to a nearby park. Joslyn especially like the giant rock climbing hill and slide.



After the park, we went to the zoo. This was the first time she's been really interested in the animals. She really liked the monkeys and the polar bear. 

And for the summer they have a special butterfly exhibit. Kind of like the butterfly room at Pacific Science Center in Seattle. Isaac thinks it has even more butterflies. Joslyn absolutely loved it! She ran around pointing at all the butterflies and thought it was so funny when they flew in front of her. A couple of them even landed on Dorian!

That night we had a little party for her. Another girl in our ward had her birthday the next day so we decided to celebrate together. Joslyn loved having all her friends around and eating the cake.
