Day 4 Minnesota Visit: Splash Park, Mill City Museum, More Soccer!

On our last full day with the Olsons we decided to head into Minneapolis for a field trip. We visited a splash park to cool off and then headed to the Mill City Museum, where we learned a lot about how Minneapolis was founded as a mill town with flour factories. The kids all enjoyed the hands-on exhibits, the Flour Tower (a huge elevator exhibit), the lookout over the Missisippi River, and a movie about the history of Minneapolis. Afterwards we went for dinner on our way to Hugo's soccer game. They tied, but we had a great time cheering for MTA!

The splash park was a big success!

Hugo's soccer game was great fun to watch, and we managed to get one more group picture before we had to say goodbye:
