Monday brought us my dad who stayed with us through Friday. We had such a great time hanging out with him and enjoying the nice weather when we got it! Tuesday we lucked out and the weather was great so we decided to hit the Como Zoo in St. Paul. This is a pretty awesome Zoo and to top it off its free! The girls loved seeing all of the animals...they explained that they were going to grow up to be Zoo Keepers! This is along with being Firefighters, Police women, and Ballerinas! Here are some pictures that we snapped while we were there:
Parker was the Map reader...she said we were finding a treasure!
That night we also took Papa Rob out for a movie! We went and watched Madagascar 3...and laughed the whole time! It was hilarious and the girls loved it!
Wednesday brought not only a day full of Papa Rob, but also Grandma Beth, Papa John, and Uncle Matthew! We got to hang out at the Mall of America for a little while and had a great dinner before my parents and brother had to head back to Sioux Falls. As if the week hadn't been fun enough, Thursday the girls had swim lessons, and then we spent the afternoon at the pool! The girls loved having Papa Rob at the 'Big Gym' swimming with them!
To start off the weekend, we went to the Mall of America and Ikea with Papa Rob before he had to head out to La Crosse WI. After nap time though the girls were in such good moods because they knew Grandma Natty was on her way! She was able to get here shortly before bed time so the girls got to get some snuggles in! Saturday was an interesting day...we were hoping to go swimming for the day, but the weather up here does not like us to plan a swim day! So we started off the day taking Grandma to the Farmers Markets that we like! We lucked out and the weather turned out ok and we were able to get some swim time in!
That night the girls got to play outside, snuggle, and eat popcorn while watching movies with grandma while Nick and I got out for a date! They love getting to hang out with their Grandma Natty! Unfortunately with Sunday, came the day that Natalie had to head home. :( None of us like when family has to leave...especially Grandma Natty since we don't get to see her as often.
Needless to say after a busy week full of family, it is rather quite at our home now! As much I love the quite and the order...we miss the family too!
