Horses, museums, and nursing, oh my!

Okay, so that's a pretty random title to this week, but we have done a lot of random and fun things. On Monday they had a free carousel day at the zoo so Rachel and Justin saddled up for some fun. At one point during the ride, Rachel took off her hat and exclaimed, "yee haw!"
This week we also finally made it to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. It was an incredible museum with so much to see and we'll definitely have to go again.

Here's Rachel enjoying a dinosaur ride in front of the museum.
Here are the shocking pictures... Rachel has been spending quite a bit of time nursing her doll lately (can you tell how Bridget is spending a lot of her day with Ian's huge appetite?) It's mostly funny because she gets out the "feeding pillow" and burp cloths. Justin has, for the time being at least, convinced her that her baby would still be well nourished if she used a bottle.

Rachel and Justin did some pretty impressive building block work, constructing a tower that was even taller than Rachel. The tricky part isn't the building, it is trying to convince Rachel to wait to knock it over until it is all the way built.
BREAKING NEWS! Rachel made it through her first full-length feature film in the theater, (meaning no potty breaks or running around the theater breaks). We went and saw Ratatouille on Wednesday and everyone really liked it. True to form, Ian slept pretty much the whole time. Justin especially enjoyed the Paris setting of the show.

Other than that, our days have been filled with visits to parks and Justin has been enjoying the final Harry Potter book (he got it on Friday at midnight and was finished by Saturday night). Bridget has patiently been waiting to start reading and will hopefully get through it before she finds out the ending from another source.
