News was pouring in today about some floods up north. Specifically in Duluth. First of all, it was devastating seeing all of the pictures and hearing the news. The streets were torn up, buildings engulfed in water, just chaos. To top it off, the zoo up there flooded. A few animals were lost in the flood, and a seal and Polar Bear actually escaped! Can you imagine?!? Luckily, both were found, and returned unharmed. They were actually transported down here to the city, to Como Zoo while their habitats are rebuilt. Poor things. Not nearly as important, I started really worrying about our vacation in a few weeks. We go up to Duluth every summer for a weekend. We look forward to it so much, and it's such a relaxing, amazing weekend away together. Luckily, the Inn we're staying at has been posting a ton on facebook, and posted some pictures from the area we're staying in. They haven't had any damage, and everything in that area looks pretty good. So, as long as we can GET there, we should be OK. It's so sad to think about the whole thing though. You just never know when something like that can hit. It's a good thing the rain has finally let up. It was some scary stuff, that's for sure.
Today also marks the 1st day of summer. SO hard to believe with the winter and spring we had - it feels like it's been summer for months already! Anxious to see how summer shapes up, that's for sure.
The girls were excited to get back to school today. Olivia's BFF, Bella, is back and they are INSEPARABLE again. It is so dang cute! I just love it. Amelia is actually bonding with a little girl in her class too, Lizzie. Lizzie is her teacher, Eva's, daughter, and Amelia LOVES Miss Eva, so it's a good match. They play babies together :) Love my girls, they are so fun.
Tonight I snapped a picture of the girls, enjoying their new favorite hobby - yelling "HI" to everybody that walks by, out the window. Quite entertaining.
