To answer your question, BOTH! I have twin boys who are 7 years old and we love the Minnesota Twins! One of my boys favorite is Mauer and the other's is Justin Morneau. We can't wait to see the new stadium this summer. One Disney related Twins story . . . the first time I went to WDW with my parents and siblings in 1991 we saw Frank Viola there with his family. My brother had his picture taken with him in Frontierland.

My boys also went through a phase where they were obsessed with garbage trucks. One of them wanted to be the driver and the other would be the "hanger-on" (the guy on the back who hops on and off) Hope you get a chance at the Waste Management display in Innoventions - I bet your son would love it.

Enjoy making the final plans for your trip. It'll be here before you know it.

AWESOME! That must of been really cool to see Frank Viola!! I LOVED him, he was a GREAT pitcher!! We are excited for the stadium too! Outdoor baseball is the BEST!! I guess there are a lot of games already sold out!

I did see that there was a Waste Management display. DH and I decided we can't go there too early in the trip, I think we would have a really hard time getting Gabe to move on to something else!!

WELCOME!!! So glad you are reading along! In the past year I read a couple of TR about families with a 5 and 2 year old and it was fun to read about the things we could do too!!! Reports are so fun to read and GREAT resources for trip planning!!!

You must be a JJ Hardy fan then Sarah! We have never come to a game, my aunt usually goes on a bus trip to Miller Park every summer and we were going to go last summer but the games were during the week and not over a weekend so they ended up not getting a bus!!

haha, how did you ever guess?!

You should definitely come to a game here sometime...Miller Park is great! Last year was actually the first year we hadn't gone to a Twins game in a while.

Hellooooooo! I hope everyone had a great weekend!! We are starting off our Spring Break week with really nice weather here, today 60 and it's supposed to just get warmer by the day!! At the end of last week we were finally able to start our Countdown Calendar!! The kids have been alternating days! Here are a couple of pics from our first day!!!

The kids are having a lot of fun with it so far!! We have busy days coming up! First getting ready for Easter this Sunday and then next Friday April 9th is Helen's 2nd Birthday!!!! I keep asking her how old she is going to be and she keeps telling me "3"!! A few members of Cory's family will be visiting intermittently during that week too! Phew...we will have a full house for a few days!!

I haven't gotten too many trip related things done this weekend. I have been noting the crowd calendar on touringplans.com since they have now posted for our week. Crowd levels are 7,6,6,4,7 for Sun-Thurs. Not too shabby! STILL awaiting our packet, our TA was checking on it yesterday for us so I hope to have it by the end of the week!!! I am going CRAZY waiting!!!

Hi Beth!

Your countdown calendar is great!! Love the picture of Gabe and Helen standing in front! They must be so excited!!

YAY! for Helen's 2nd Birthday! Too cute that she thinks she's going to be 3!

Your crowd levels look good! They look very similar to the week we are going although, I haven't checked it in a couple days so hopefully they haven't changed them on me!!!

Hope you get your packet soon!!!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Cute countdown calendar!
I love how Helen says she is going to be three...for an entire year now if you ask ashton how old he is he tells you 3 but holds up 4 fingers

Have a great family filled Easter week!

[Peter Pan Fan 22]

Awww... your kids look so cute in front the countdown! I think my household is in the same boat with having a busy April. After Easter we have my nephew's birthday on April 10 and then my mom's on the 22. I think we have a wedding to go to next month too. At least all those things involve cake!

Crossing my fingers for you that your vacation package comes soon!

 

[ILUVDSNYWRLD]

We are staying at BLT!! I have not made any plans for the parks yet we normally go commando! Super exciting that it's coming up so quick!!!
