Our trip to Minnesota

We went to Minnesota the first week in May to see Ross's family, and had a great time.


On our way
Ok so what do you do when your 4 yr. old needs to go "2" and your in the middle of nowhere!

We brought Roxy with us this time, she did great, and had the most comfortable spot in the car, her own seat so she could look out the window, and her bed on the floor!

Grama Su with the kids, going to meet Aunt Beth for lunch.

One night we went to a family fun center, and met a bunch of Beth's friends and Ross's friends and their kids, so our kids had someone to play with. This is Peyton with Reece, there about 4 months apart, and got along great! She is Ross's best friends daughter.

Braeden and uncle Ty racing motorcycles, he loved that!

Reecie giving it a try

riding with peyton, but obviously not very seriously! lol, she is so silly

Reece posing in pigtails

aww too cute

lol this makes me laugh, she is totally posing for the camera here!

REALLY, too cute!

We visited the Mall of America, it really is the coolest mall and has every store you can possibly imagine, and much more! Like an amusement park in the middle of the mall, Lego land, and an aquarium! Here is Braeden checking out all the Lego's!

The start of the aquarium, that you littlerally walked through! Sooo neat, everthing is swimming above and both sides of you, I had as much fun as the kids. And all the pictures I took of the fish shows that! haha The pics didnt turn out great, I couldnt find the right setting, but here are just a few of the ones that I took that turned out ok.

These sting rays were neat and they looked like they were smiling! Kinda creepy!

Ok this turtle was huge! And I heard the lady that worked there say it was a few hundred yrs old!

Shark, crazy, I wanted to get a close up of the teeth, hard to see but that was crazy!

Look at these cute sea horses! I love those!

And Nemo of course

Ross's sister and his Mom had planned a surprise b-day party for Ross, and alot of his friends came over with their family's. Ross's friends that he grew up with Tyler and Emily got married, and these 2 cutie pies are theres. Bennett is a few months younger than Braeden and Ella is a few months younger than Reece, they played really well, and were up till midnight that night!

Playing Croaky with the boys
I have no idea how to spell it??

Beth and I

This was My Mothers day present well at least from my kids, Mom tattoos! And for all the others that was for Su! It was pretty funny when they all revealed them!

I wonder who got to Ross's cake?? Ill guess Reece!

He sure is excited about his cake!

Stop at the DQ! I wish we had those here!
