Last Friday we traveled to Minneapolis, MN for a fun-filled weekend. On Friday we met some good friends at the Minnesota Zoo. We had a great time walking through the zoo and seeing the various animals. After the zoo we ate at our favorite pizza place, Punch, and then went to the hotel for some swimming. Maya loves the water and loves to drink the water!
On Saturday we attended our first ever Mehabar (picnic). Each summer our adoption agency, CHSFS, and EKC join forces to plan a picnic for all the adopted families with Ethiopian children. The day consisted of an African petting zoo, kids games, a charity walk, Ethiopian food, various booths, Ethiopian dancing, and lots of chit chat. We were lucky to see 4 other couples that we traveled with to Ethiopia. All of their children have grown so much and are extremely adorable. Maya really had a fun weekend and did really well despite not getting her "normal" naps.
What a fun weekend. We hope to make this trip each year.
