trip to Minneapolis

or minnie-an-app-olis if you are cece.

our anniversary fell on father's day this year.

so mr. weesner decided we needed to get out of town. he planned us a lovely little trip to minneapolis.

the girls were all excited. they do like traveling and checking out new places.

tim planned for us to go to the mall of america, IKEA, the Minnesota Zoo and to visit friends of ours from when we lived in arizona that had recently moved to minnesota.

we were going to go to the mall and more importantly the American Girl Doll Store on saturday. but once the girls found out we were going there. we knew we had to go there straight away. so on friday we drove straight to the American Girl Doll Store. they were so excited.

they had a great time picking out a couple things and spending some birthday money they had been saving.





after eating at the mall we headed back to the hotel. mags thought the hotel and particularly the elevator was the coolest thing ever. she would squeal with delight every time we got on the elevator. she was a little nervous about the gap in the floor at the elevator threshold. but oh she loved it. i wish i had pictures.

we did plenty of swimming in the hotel pool. because we don't swim often enough. hahaha.




saturday ended up being a rainy stormy day.  we ate breakfast and visited IKEA in the morning. napped and did more swimming in the afternoon and visited friends in the evening. it was a very relaxing day.



sunday didn't start out looking so good. as we packed up the van to head to the zoo it started pouring. we sat in the parking lot trying to decide what to do. we could just go to an indoor aquarium or we could stay with our zoo plan and possibly get rained on.

we decided to stick with our plan to go to the zoo. as we arrived at the zoo the rain stopped and the sun started to shine. we knew we were going to have a good day.

and boy did we. it was a perfect day.


first stop the Weesner Family Amphitheater. yep you read that right!! we thought we should get free admission since we are the weesner family:) 


 mags was sooooo excited about the carousel. then we got on it and she changed her mind. not a fan...for now. 

















after this picture was taken, cece tapped on the window. then tim told her that she wasn't supposed to tap on the window. if she woke up the bears a trap door would open and they would feed her to the bears. as you can see in the next picture she was a little nervous. don't worry we told her it wasn't true. she now claims that she did not believe daddy. you be the judge. just some good ole weesner family fun. hahahaha
