Good Times with the Webbs!

Well my sister Katherine and her family came up last week and stayed until Tuesday - it was so much fun! We had a really great visit with them! I had intended to get pics posted sooner but we had something going on every night this week, so it was a bit busy. So to make up for my long delay, I've downloaded tons of pics from our visit - lots of them of my cute little newphews too. :)

So Kat and Jim got in Thursday night. Michael and I were both off on Friday so we headed to a new apple orchard we had never been too called Minnetonka Orchards. It was a pretty big place with all kinds of fun stuff for kids. It started off pretty cold and cloudy, but by the time we left the sun was out and it felt nice! Jacob loved the apple orchard and all the little kids stuff there....except for the wild turkeys roaming around in the petting zoo area. ;) We picked a peck of apples and enjoyed several tasty ones right off the trees! Jacob was so funny...he was so excited to eat them right after picking them off the tree, that he thought that is what you had to do to every apple you picked! Before we knew it, he had 3 or 4 apples he was trying to eat off of at the same time. :) So, I had to explain to him that you only eat one in your hand and all the others you put in the bag Uncle Michael was holding. hehe

Luke bundled up and ready for the orchard!

Now that is some tall corn! Jim is 6'4" for a comparison

Which way to go??!

He loved those apples!

Eating yet another apple :)

Saturday, the guys drove to Ames, Iowa - about 3 hours away to watch the Aggies beat the Iowa State Cyclones. While they were there all day, Kat and I took the boys to the Science Museum in downtown St. Paul. Jacob just loved all the hand on stuff they had to do there - especially the Halloween events that let him touch the water from a smokey cauldron and make some "blood" with some glue and food coloring in a baggie. Although he wasn't too happy about his hands being stained red the rest of the day.

Sunday after church, we just spent the day at home BBQing and playing games. And get this....it SNOWED for 2 or 3 hours!!!! THe high was 39 so it stuck a few minutes when it was coming down pretty decent, but then it melted very fast. I just don't know about snow on October 24. :\ But it did make a good day for staying insdie and making another yummy homemade apple pie with our fresh apples! Mmm!

Play time in his jammies!

Monday, we had to work but Kat and Jim got to visit with some of their Edward Jones friends that live in Minnesota. So we finished off their visit on Monday night with a late night of more game playing! Kat and I were a bit rusty on our Pictionary skills, but it was a blast nonetheless!

Good times! :)
