Cousins Weekend

Larry and I picked up the boys and headed down to Mankato to spend some time with Uncle Joe and Auntie Katie. It is safe to say that everyone had a great time. There was playing with toys, lots of sharing, swimming, and eating, not as much sleeping, very little crying and LOTS of fun...



We went swimming at the Mankato Y and the kids had fun swimming in the kiddy part. There was much splashing and spraying of water... Nora got cold first...





After swimming everyone ate lunch and then at least one kid went down for a nice nap.


Don't they look tired?

Nora showed me what it would look like IF she were to sleep... but that didn't happen.

Liam took a time out with Papa...

Later we played some more
and watched Nana's Ipod...
Sunday morning we watched the Frog Prince for a while in our jammies...
but a couple of guys figured that was a "girl" movie!


So then we played in the play room... oh yeah... we jumped on the air mattress and made some hog piles on Uncle Joe.
We dressed up Papa for Easter...hope he doesn't scare the Easter Bunny!!

After the air mattress fun...there was more toy playing...


Then we went down stairs and saw some visitors in the back yard... There were four tom turkey's moving through,,,


One of them was as curious about us as we were about him and took a peek in the window... think that's where the saying peeping Tom came from!??!



and last but not least look at this smile!

Girls Weekend

This weekend we went to Cross Lake area for a great girls weekend. It was an awesome weekend. This was the beautiful sunset that e enjoyed on our way out of town.


Friday nite we sat around had snacks and drinks and talked til two in the morning.On Saturday morning we all got up and went out to breakfast and did a little shopping. Back to the cabin for some naps

and some cleaning to prepare for the showing of the cabin later in the day.

After all of us showering and getting ready to go out we left to have a quick drink at the Wharf.

We sat in the sun for a little while and then had our picture taken and hurried back in side. The sun was great but it was still a little chilly out .



We met up with some other ladies from IGH and took some pictures


We went home to freshen up... and ditch the car. we called the shuttle to be safe...
On to Moonlight Bay... where I got asked to dance... strange!

Cherry Bombs!

Dancin' the night away
More Dancin'
This morning we modeled our new sweatshirts....



and took some pictures
.. after much talk of a ghost who resides in the cabin we saw a few glimpses and a cool breeze... I think that it was a girl who just wanted to join our fun! This was a great weekend!!
