For Memorial Day, DJ and I took Gretchen to the Minnetrista; it was a free day and we had never been before, so this was the perfect opportunity to explore it! (Especially, since it was too cool to play in the sprinklers today.) They had 4 exhibits that we could explore. The 1st was about bees and honey.... did you know that bee's can't see the color red? The 2nd was all about animals. Gretchen got to dress up as a chipmunk and explore bugs, seashells and animals. Then, we got to visit the kitchen area where Gretchen could practice her cooking and canning skills. She had fun taking the vegetables out of the jars, putting them into pots, stirring, and taking the veggies back out! Finally, we went and walked through the Ball jar exhibit, and we punched her time clock and left a message in a jar.
We came home and grilled out turkey burgers; perfect for Memorial day! We are thankful for those that have served this country and have put their lives at risk or have given their lives for our freedom. If it weren't for these men and women we wouldn't be able to enjoy the freedoms we have and the wonderful day today!
