Vehicle Day

Leif and Aaron's outing to Union Depot that was documented in the previous blog post was far from their only excitement on that recent weekend day. They had kicked off their long day of adventures with Vehicle Day in the parking lot of Southdale Mall, where Leif got to climb on and in all manner of vehicles, including those pictured below. When it got too chilly to hang around in the parking lot any longer, they headed over to downtown St. Paul for a pizza lunch at Cossetta's, followed by some play time at the Children's Museum. (Leif had apparently been telling Aaron all morning that he wanted to go "deliver packages at the museum"; Aaron phoned me to confirm that he was talking about moving around the big foam cubes in the pretend shipping warehouse at the Children's Museum.) The stop at Union Depot rounded out a long, fun day out...topped off by a VERY long nap in the car on the way home :-) .

of this made it sound like the baseball equivalent of a Zamboni)
