Fun Times

Well Michael's parents left this morning to head back to TX. We had such a GREAT time with them! It was so great they were able to come and stay for so long. And it was even more special to have them here yesterday to celebrate Michael's birthday!

Michael's boss offered his lakehouse to us again last weekend, so we took Faith & Jimmy up there and spent the night. It was so gorgeous again and we all really enjoyed it. The weather was really cool that weekend so it was fun to sit by the campfire with our jackets on and make s'mores. :) After the weekend it was back to work for me and Michael. Faith & Jimmy did lots of touristy stuff around the Twin Cities while we were at work and even drove up to Duluth for the day on Tuesday. Duluth is the town that is right on Lake Superior and is just beautiful from what they say!

And to encourage all of you to follow their lead and come visit us, they told us many times that they came to just see and visit us, but were surprised by how beautiful Minnesota is and ended up having a really fun vacation while they were here! :)

Here are some pics from their visit...we sure did have fun! We're going to miss you Faith & Jimmy!








Going for a boat ride.












Jimmy and Michael did some fishing off the boat dock. Jimmy caught the big one!

















This is me & Faith's version of fishing. :)













Like father like son.














Faith & Lego Land at Mall of America

















Jimmy at Lake Superior!












Faith (the art teacher) at the famous spoon and cherry in the sculpture garden in downtown Minneapolis.










Funs!









P.S. More fun pics to come...this weekend we are headed to Walnut Grove for the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum and play! And to top it off....26 hours until the release of Harry Potter #7. And if you hear what happens, please DON'T tell me! I'm a slow reader. It's going to be a GOOD weekend! :)
