MN Vacation!

Teresa, Timothy, and I made a visit to the cities shortly after school got out to visit my family.  We had a blast!  We had all kinds of fun things to do and lots of quality cousin time.
While waiting for an afternoon play date with the cousins, I took the kids to a fun park.  It had a new zip line that they loved and other unique structures that we do not often see.  We had a great 30 minutes until 3 buses of school kids showed up.  They there were lines everywhere and we decided to go home.

Posing for a pic.

 At grandma and grandpa's house there was lots of time for outdoor play.  The weather was not too hot, but sunny and warm.  They played on the swings, and in the water and just had lots of fun being together.


Timothy and Broder, and Teresa and Fiona got to have a special outing to Como town as well.  They girls rode on the car ride--a sort of tradition for them.  They also drove bumper cars solo for the first time.  The boys also rode the bumper cars and the roller coaster and they all loved the frog hopper!


Teresa was especially sad at the thought of leaving, so I let her take some pictures.  She took the one of Grandpa.  And I took the one of Teresa and Grandma.  This was the silly pose.  The really nice one turned out blurry of course!  We are so thankful for chances to be together with family!!
