Minneapolis

 This last week we took the family on our first big vacation.  We went to Minneapolis, which maybe is an odd location to go in the middle of February, but we went because we wanted to go to see the Minnesota Timberwolves vs. New York Knicks.  The Timberwolves only play the Knicks once in the whole season.  Anton is a life-long fan of the Knicks, but had never seen them play live, we figured it was about time.

 Next we went to Sea Life Minnesota

 We also went to the Science Museum of Minnesota where we learnt about everything

 from light, to planets to Dinosaurs.

We went to the Minnesota Zoo which luckily has a lot of its animals 

inside, so we could explore in the warmth.

 Sharks!

 We loved the Penguins!

 Swimming at the hotel pool.  This was Amara's first time in a pool.  She seemed to enjoy it.

We spent some time at the Water park of America.

Anton tried body surfing

 The play structure, it dumps a ton of water every couple minutes.

It was a close game, but the KNICKS won 100 to 94.
