Minneapolis Trip.
July 22-24, 2011

Reasons why we went to MN:
  • Twins game on Friday night (Evan, Phillip & Stefan) 
  • Lego Store @ Mall of America (Evan)
  • Visit Megan T. & family (Missy & kids)
  • U2 Concert on Saturday night (Phillip & Stefan)
  • Beach (Missy, Megan & kids)


Evan LOVED the Lego store.  He could have been there for hours.
He built 3 Lego guys.  It was totally worth it!  
Boys building.  
Luke & Anabel ON the table!  
Anabel, Dora & Boots


Pleasant surprises that came up while in MN:
  • Bike ride Saturday AM while Ryan stayed with the sleeping kids (MJ & MT)
  • My kids did not want to ride rides @ Mall of America...they wanted to ride the escalator
  • Lunch at a rooftop restaurant downtown Saturday noon (PJ & SJ)
  • ANOTHER Twins game Saturday afternoon (PJ & SJ)
  • Warm rain during the U2 concert (PJ & SJ--I'm told it made it even more amazing!)
  • Ryan went to the U2 concert w/ some friends
  • Real conversation with a real friend Saturday night (MJ & MT)
  • A great walk with Uncle Stefan on Sunday to the river (Jensen family)

"Moving Stairs"


5 kids, 2 moms, 1 minivan

Anabel loved holding Grady
Luke & Evan


Reasons we DID NOT go to MN:

  • To build sandcastles in the sand, get bit by some bug & break out in bites/hives all over (Evan)
  • Miss the pizza delivery guy (MJ & MT)
  • Fall down a very steep flight of stairs, head over heals & land on cement (Brooks)

Memories were made.  Thankfully, everyone is okay.  Thanks to Phillip for letting our family crash your (belated) 30th birthday weekend.  Sounds to me like you had a well deserved weekend!!!  We love you! 

We were so thankful to get Sunday morning with Uncle Stefan. 
These kids love their uncle!!!
