On Thursday night, the weather was finally nice enough to go for a little boat ride and swim. We were so excited for Spring to finally start in the middle of June!
Although Miss Sheri and Grandma Linda thought we were crazy, the boys and I insisted on swimming at Candy Cove on Prior Lake. The water wasn't that cold. Only about a 6 on the Shrinkage Scale.
We had some new friends come to the boat to visit us and beg for food. The boys and I tried to swim over to them to see if we could get them to sit on our shoulders like parrots, but they weren't having any of that.
Grandma Linda seems to like going on the boat, but she spends a lot of time belly aching about the wind and how cold it is. We gave her a towel to wrap up in to see if that were make her happy and she just started smiling from ear to ear. Mission accomplished.
On Saturday, we went to the Minnesota Zoo to see the brand new exhibit, Russia's Grizzly Coast. This new attraction cost nearly $30 million dollars to build and all it does is hold a few bears, some pigs, otters, and leopards. It opened last weekend and the dang leopards are too scared and are still hiding from the zoo visitors. For $30 million dollars, I thought the leopards should come out and dance the hokey pokey for all of us to enjoy.
The grizzly bears were pretty cool. I half expected them to be sleeping when we arrived in the early afternoon, but they were quite frisky as they swam around in front of us and then started wrestling hard. I was surprised to learn that the zoo actually acquired these bears from Alaska, instead of Russia. I asked one of the zoo employees why they didn't call this the Alaskan Grizzly Coast. She told me it was because the pigs and other animals were from Russia. I said why didn't you call this the Russian Pig Coast then? She looked at me like she wanted me to leave, so I did.
This friendly little otter came up to the glass and stared right at the boys and I. After seeing me, he suddenly lifted his arms into the Shortarmguy pose which I thought was very, very kind.
We are here. And it's darned exciting.
Avery was pretty proud of himself after navigating this Lava Tube. I didn't have the heart to tell him that it looked like he just crawled out of King Kong's Bung Hole.

Quote of the Week "If you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it."
-- William James, Psychologist Joke of the Week
CANNIBAL RESTAURANT
Super Market Surround Sounds A new supermarket near my house has an automatic water mister to keep produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of thunder and the smell of fresh rain. When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and breathe in the aroma of chocolate milk. When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle, and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying. The veggie department features the sound of a gentle breeze and the smell of fresh buttered corn. I don't buy toilet paper there any more. Nice Emails of The Week Thought I would pass on the
chuckle. I continue to enjoy your site. LifeofHappiness Door Signs Sign over a Gynecologist's
