Eliza is going to Preschool (Pre-K)

Preschool Orientation

Eliza playing with her buddy Kai. They have been playmates since they were two years old.

Excited for her first day....but no hugs for daddy.

We loved Miss Stacey!

Time with Rulon and Linda and saying Goodbye

Visited Matt's cousin, Catherine, on her farm.

Enjoyed some yummy food at Cossetta's, an Italian Marketplace.

Then finished our eating out with some yummy gelato.

In the short time we were there, Eliza grew quite fond of Aunt Linda.

Getting in a little more play dress-up before we headed to the airport the next morning.

It's not a vacation if you are not exhausted at the end of it.

Mall of America

A huge section of the mall is really, truly an amusement park.

Loving the log ride. Matt and Eliza rode this one the most.

I love that our girl loves rollercoasters.

Cute little Lucas was entertained by the leaves and walking on the curb. 

A seat from the Met Stadium has been hung to commemorate the spot where Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew's 522-foot home run landed in the upper deck on June 3, 1967

Lego Store

Crayola Store

Eliza was so sad for the day to come to an end.
