Then Saturday morning we were up early for soccer games. The games were at the same time, so we did some frantic cross-town switching to ensure both grandparents saw both granddaughters.
This was also my first time seeing Starshine because I normally have to take Jr. Princess to her game. Check out this awesome action shot...
And here she is making her goalie debut while getting an encouraging high-five from Coach Dad.
We were then off to see Jr. Princess. Unfortunately, both teams only had a couple subs, so by the time we got there all of the kids looked fried and uninterested. Both sets of coaches concurred to end the match early. But at least I got to see Jr. Princess's awesome throw-in...
Then, we were off to the Community Center for "Touch a Truck" Day. It is funny how the littlest things thrill kids. Essentially the city parks all of there big trucks in a parking lot and the kids get to climb all over them, honk the horn, etc...
The Fort Snelling Museum brought up a tank - cool!
And my personal favorite was the nice Sheriff who handcuffed the kids to pose for this picture. (Scared Straight!)
They also enjoyed putting on all of the fireman's clothes...
Later that evening, Jr. Princess loved to show Grandpa M. how much she likes doing his Kindergarten math workbook...
Later, they walked over to the apple orchard so we could make apple crisp for dessert (which Jr. Princess declared DISGUSTING, but the rest of us enjoyed very much!). Starshine almost fell asleep during dinner from all the activity, but ended the day by soaking up some cuddles...
It's been a fun visit.

What a fun weekend that must have been! I especially like the pictures of the girls in the fire outfits. Jr. Princess looks like she is wearing a pile of clothes! Can't wait to see you all on Friday.
Love,
Grandma L
I just love family visits! What fun. Looks like soccer has been a big success in your house - fun.
