Day 1 – Duluth, MN

Sheila somehow deleted the first part of Rosa’s entry for day 1.  Basically she said that we left her house in Brooklyn Park around 9:30 am. We listened to an Encyclopedia Brown audiobook, stopped at Subway for lunch and went straight to the Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth.

I wish I would have taken pictures of the surrey bike ride but I was otherwise busy. Rosa pedaled the whole time and seemed to totally enjoy the biking experience. She really got her exercise that day. What a trouper. Coop and I took turns pedaling. While he was pedaling, I walked/jogged behind holding on and acted as an emergency brake. When I was pedaling I was also being watchful that he didn’t fall as he used the bike for a jungle gym.

Rosa Day 1

At the aquarium we saw:

  • mata mata turtles
  • a sting ray
  • piranhas ( they didn’t bite us)
  • catfish
  • ducks
  • more turtles
  • a crow
  • a magpie
  • and a lot of others

After a trip to the gift shop, we went to Canal Park, and we rented a Surrey bike that held us all (most of the time), and we went for a bike ride, and after we put the bike back, we went to Cold Stone Creamery and I got cake batter and mint ice cream with white choclate chips mixed in.

We went on a shopping spree and then ate a pizza at Vitta Pizza. We walked back to our car, and went to the hotel, and after a quick break, we went swimming and had a frantic search for a ball and a key, and a hotel room.

We headed back to our hotel room and changed into out PJs( at least I did) and I am now writing this blog. Read Cooper’s entry and you will learn more about our day)

Until tomorow,
Rosa 🙂 😉

P.S. I miss you all a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.P.S. I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Cooper Day 1

Rosa wrote all the good stuff.

Its a good thing that my agate has crystals in it.

I liked the invasive species game at the aquarium. It was hard and fun and a little easy. We saw snakes too.

I liked swimming in the pool at the hotel. We played with a ball. I practiced swimming almost with no hands.

We got the best pizza ever and that’s the end of my blog for today.

-Cooper

Coop really got into the 2 story aquarium

Nice!
We got to throw fish food pellets to the trout.

Exotic turtles
How can an iPhone take this good a pic through glass?

I’ve never seen anyone give themselves rabbit ears before
Coop didn’t want his pic taken and used Rosa as a shield

This stance lasted a milli-second.
