Spring has sprung!

St Patrick's Day aftermath

My favorite part of this morning is that Adam gathered up the 'ropes' and sent them back to the leprechauns with a sweet note.

St Patrick's Day 2015

This Leprechaun Trap tradition has gotten out of hand.

A slide coated with wax paper leading to a funnel, leading to a cup filled with water.

A coin precariously taped on top of a hole so you fall in when you try to steal it.

A coin suspended directly over a funnel so you fall in when you jump to steal it.

A good old fashioned coin taped to the bottom of a sealed up big box with a hole on the top and a sign pointing towards the coin.

A car with a seat belt and coin steering wheel and double sided tape on the seat.

Wonder what will happen?

Sparring

Laura's 3rd sparring class. She's the little one with the green belt and blond hair sticking out in back. She's so brave and is loving hitting people.

The boys right in front of the camera are hilariously crazy.

Snow Sculptures!

Getting all we can out of Minnesota before we leave...

We spent the afternoon at the Bakken Museum, then stumbled upon a snow sculpture contest, went walking on Lake Calhoun, and had dinner at Agra Culture.
