More Adventures

I have today and tomorrow off, so it's time to catch up on some blogging.

Let's not forget the real reason we went to Minneapolis...to meet Eden. It was so fun holding and playing with her since she's such a good baby, Julie is not exaggerating! It was great to be there for her blessing, and the delicious meal to follow (I believe I told Tom I would comment on the meal, so here goes..) we had grilled chicken that Tom cooked, it was so tasty, corn on the cob, salad, fruit salad, and these really yummy butter rolls (notice I used rolls--seeing as I was in the states they weren't really buns). For dessert was a chocolate bunt cake. Everything was so good together and I definitly over ate!
Meeting Eden for the first time.
It's fun having nieces and nephews...all play and no diaper changes!
Chillin' in the stroller at Valley Fair.
The other great part of the trip was hitting up Mall of America. Mom and I spent most of the day and had a lot of fun and got a lot of goods (well mostly I got goods, but so did mom). We didn't even hit close to half of the stores, but we were both tired when we were done.
The shopping girls!
Me and all my goodies.
Mom infront of Camp Snoopie, which I think now is actually a Nickelodean park or something like that.
Chris definitly in his element at the Lego Park in Mall of America. It was too bad he didn't get to stay longer, he was in heaven!
Admiring the general splendor!

I need to give credit where credit is due...my only role with the chicken was throwing them on the grill. The hard work, flavoring the chicken, was done by Julie and her mom.

We really enjoyed your visit and hope you come again before Eden is too much bigger.
