Here is Amelia's new hair do. She pulled them out during nap time but Sandra managed to get them back in . She thinks she is pretty cute! Of course Aidan wanted something in his hair too! It's so hard to have a younger sister!

Busy Saturday

The first day of Summer vacation for the O'Brien clan was full of action. The day started with Jack's first coach-pitch baseball game against his buddy Logan. He made some nice plays, had some good hits, and got to play catcher.

After the game we headed to Sandra's house for Dusty's graduation party. Aidan and Jack played bean bag toss in the backyard while Amelia made eyes at Sandra.

The highlight of the day came at 3:00 when we went to the Grand Opening of the new Waconia Ice Arena. What a place! Jack wasted no time getting out there while Aidan was more hesitant. After watching Jack and Dad skate he came out on the ice with tennis shoes and decided to give skating a try. He had a great time. Little buddies Tanner and Tait joined us. The best part about the rink is the 5 minute drive.
