Spring break

For spring break this year we went to visit family as we often do.  Troy was able to join us this year due to his sabbatical.  

Our first stop was at Susie's.  Teresa really wanted to watch Mary Poppins with Susie since they both love the movie.  We had a fun night and spent the morning at her house too, enjoying a little of time outside at the pond in her backyard and on the snow mountain out front.

Then it was onto my mom's and a week of activity, family and fun.  On Monday we went to Como Zoo.  We had not been there in quite awhile to actually see the animals.  Most recently  the kids have been enjoying Como Town the little amusement park and skipping the zoo part.  So it was fun to actually see the animals.  They had a lot of fun.  We stopped at a near by playground to play!

Another day we went swimming with several of the cousins.  it was busy at the pool but we managed to have fun.  And the water was warm!  That same day we had a little baseball party and watched the Twins home opener.  Troy had us all make predictions on all the opening day games.  We had a baseball themed dinner and popcorn in cute Twins bags.

We also got a little culture with a visit to the art museum.  The kids sort of did a scavenger hunt.  We tired out pretty quick, but it was a good time.

On our last afternoon together, all the cousins except Henrik got to go to the ropes park.  It was a beautiful day and the park was not too busy.

And there was time for little things like playing Mary Poppins songs with Grandma and making a pile of cousins on the floor.

We are thankful for the chance to see family!
