Which means we head to downtown Minneapolis by light rail. This time our destination is to watch the Harlem Globetrotters play the Washington Generals at the Target Center.
First the train, then lunch in the IDS Building's Crystal Court.
Then a little running around and exploring.
And finally the game. You'll never guess who won.
What to do on a snowy December day on the eve of your mom's birthday and just weeks before Christmas? Well, Edgar had a few ideas. In between morning dance class and seeing Tangled in the evening, Edgar watched parts of Yellow Submarine for the first time, picked out a tree for the holidays, and did a lot of playing.
Here's a pic from the morning -- at the Dog Park, before the snow was trampled -- as well as a few from later on.
With Jean!
At least in shuffleboard. On Saturday, Edgar's dad -- with a lot of encouragement from his family -- became the Minnesota State Shuffleboard Champ for 2010.

Edgar is off to Kindergarten for day one. There was much crying and resisting, butterflies and digging-in of heels. But that was just his parents. Edgar was fine. He got to start the day with his car-pool mates, Anna and Rachel.
Here he is looking alternately preppy and hip-hop-ish.
UPDATED! Here' a picture which includes the aforementioned car-pool buddies.
#1: Visit the State Fair!
A day late and probably well more than a dollar short -- though we did also celebrate a day early -- Happy Birthday, Opa! We all hope you had a fun- and/or rest-filled birthday -- whichever was your wish. Maybe a bit of both.
We hope to see you wearing that funny hat next time we visit.
Big step yesterday. Edgar finished pre-school at the wondrous Jardín Mágico, and will begin Kindergarten at an equally wondrous International Baccalaureate public elementary school next week.
Jardín's ceremony was neither pompous nor circumstantial -- it was a merciful combination of singing, dancing, light-heartedness, and brevity. During the open mic portion, when several children screwed up the courage to approach the PA system and announce to one and all their personal vision for a professional future, Edgar said -- mock-dramatically -- "Mom (pause), Dad (pause), what do YOU want to be when YOU grow up?"
Very funny, smart aleck.
But seriously, folks, we'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Bobbie and Ralph, Grammy, Nana and Opa, and everyone who has contributed to Edgar's early education.
