Home!

We are home from a week of vacation in Minnesota with Nick's family! I was going to try and keep up with the blog while we were away, but the WiFi at our resort was not working... so now that the laundry is finally done and all of the totes are unpacked, I have begun to start sifting through all of our vacation pictures! There are hundreds of them!!! We all had a great time despite the rainy weather and the insect infested beach! It was so much fun to spend the week with our nieces and it was awesome to watch our boys experience some new things! They got to fish, go for boat rides, go down water slides, and so much more! I thought I would share a few of my favorite photos from the week...

Ben and Conner walked right into the lake with Nick right when we arrived at the resort!


Conner loved riding around on the car at the playground...


Ben would not stay out of the closet in our room and fell into the suitcase several times throughout the week!


Conner, Nick, and Ben enjoy the boys' first time "fishing." Really the boys just put their poles in the water and splashed them around... they did learn to say "Here fishy, fishy!"


Jennifer, Ben, and Conner enjoy one of their favorite snacks...


Conner and Ben loved carrying their fishing poles around outside! (I had to break up several sword fights...)

This family loves popcicles!


We all went to do go-karts and power wheels... the boys LOVED the power wheels. It was so much fun to watch them and then to watch the adults trying to help the kids steer!


Ben and Conner were very happy that they got to spend an entire week with Daddy!





I just thought it was too cute that the boys were trying to help Daddy carry the luggage to the car...
When we made it back to town on friday night after our 7 hour trip, we were welcomed with flooded streets! But we made it to our house and decided to do most of our unpacking on Saturday... Thanks for a great vacation Mama and Papa!!! We had a wonderful time! And now it's time to get back to "normal" around here!

Thanks for a fun week! Jennifer is missing Ben and Conner already. We too are trying to get back to normal, it is a little hard I must admit. Love you guys!
