June 8, 2019: The Wedding!

Brother/Uncle Nick got married in Minneapolis on Saturday, June 8.

We traveled to Minneapolis two days prior and spent that Thursday night at the Great Wolf Lodge in Bloomington.  It was our 1st visit to a Great Wolf Lodge ~ the boys had fun - right down to the bunk beds in our room.

The boys enjoyed the lazy river, wave pool area, and various slides.  Ralph also enjoyed the "wolf rider wipeout" (surfing simulator).  After some play on Thursday we werent to IKEA for supper.  The boys were able to play for a few more hours Friday morning before we departed for our next hotel and the focus of our visit.

We spent Friday evening at Nick & Jenel's for supper with the families and attended the wedding on Saturday morning. It was an outside wedding at a brewery with the reception inside their 2nd floor banquet hall.  The boys (especially Ralph) followed Uncle Nick around at the reception as he made his way around to talk to folks.

Henry: Celebrating 9 1/2 years (and one week)!

Last Thursday, Henry turned 9 1/2.  We celebrated by going to the Great Wolf Lodge in Bloomington, Minnesota - just kidding, that's for another post.

Henry has been encouraged to make some personal growth this summer.  He has tried a summer day camp without big brother around!   He attended 3 out of 5 days of a wrestling day camp (his week ended prematurely as we were heading out of town).  A lot of Henry's uncertainity in wrestling comes from not knowing who he will partner up with in practices - since partners are determined in tournaments they are not so nerve racking.

Henry's weight is now up to roughly 56.2 pounds.  He could still wear a size 5/6 in shorts, maybe even a 4, that do not have adjustable waists.  He doesn't like his shirts to be too big/boxy in the width.  He still prefers plan colored tshirts with no graphics or prints.  He does have some unique color combinations when picking out clothing.  He is wearing a size X in shoes.

Henry's breakfast of choice on weekdays continues to be french toast sticks and a sausage.  Weekend breakfast choice rotate between an egg burrito, pancakes, and french toast.

Henry has not lost any baby teeth for awhile.

School ended well for Henry.  Nothing too noteworthy.
