The cutest little bear in the WHOLE zoo!!
Early on Wednesday morning Adam, Jackson, Dixon and I packed up Grandma Wendy's car to the brim and headed up north for a BIG adventure. Our first stop was the Minnesota Zoo. There were a ton of activities to do inside...but I think Dixon's favorite was the enormous fish tank that he could crawl right over to a lean up against! He loved to watch the fish swim by! At this point in the trip the frigid temps had not set in, so we decided to take a quick trip around the outdoor tour. We were able to see Brown Bears wrestling in the water inches away (protected by THICK glass, of course!).
We left the zoo and headed for our next stop, the hotel. We barely even set our bags down and Adam and Jackson were ready to head off to the water park. They had fun going down HUGE water slides and riding waves on the surf simulator. While Dixon and I relaxed in the big pool and played in the 3 inch deep water!
As soon as Kayla was done with work we went out to dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. Dixon LOVED looking at all of the decor and plus there were more fish tanks!
We all slept great that night! When we woke up Thursday morning we headed right back down to the water park. Dixon LOVES being in the water, he is our little fish! Then it was off to IKEA, the boys did not find this as exciting as I did...but we made it! Tired from all the shopping, we went back to the hotel and all took BIB BEAR naps. We met Kayla again for dinner, at Outback (yum!). And Kayla and I managed to get some shopping of our own in at the MOA!
We woke up early in the morning and were headed back south by 8 am. We have been trying to recover ever since! Grandma Wendy and Aunt Maddy arrived home from Europe yesterday and Grandma Gayle and Aunt Natalie are coming home from Disney World today...
AHHHH....back to normalcy!

Hey Kendra! I work at a daycare with the 8-16 month olds and we have a couple of kids who you an ointment called CALMOSEPTINE. It is non-prescription and you can probably find it anywhere. It really seems to work very well!!
Abigail has had some mean diaper rash after antibotics and we have used Resinol. It's over the counter but they usually keep it behind the counter...it's great because it's a skin protectant with a pain reliever. Good luck!
Your trip sounded like great fun....I need to talk Abigail to a zoo still I'm sure she'd love it too!
Sorry... I will be coming to YOU for diaper rash details in a few months. What a fun trip to the zoo!! Welcome back to normalcy this week :o( Apparently, we have 9 weeks until summer...how 'bout you?
Hey Kendra - Anderson had the same problem last month. We called the doctor and they had us use Lotrimin and neosporin. Any antifungal will work though, it's probably a yeast infection, so you can go right for that treatment as well. Good luck!
Kendra...I heard the use of Crisco is very effective!!! It's not just for pans...it's for butts too!!! ha ha ha
