Love Having Family In Town!
Last Thursday, Dan’s brother Tom, his wife Kari, and their two kids, Hailey and Zach came to town! We always look forward to having visitors because it gives us a chance to show others what our life is like out here in the great state of Minnesota!
It ended up being a very nice weekend, which we were very thankful for! It was wonderful to just catch up, see them all again (seemed like it was forever ago!), and just be together. The time absolutely FLEW by! Before we knew it, we were saying our goodbyes.
The big highlight of the weekend was going to Mall of America! Dan and I hadn’t been there since we were kids, so it was high time we go there!
On the way out to the cities, we saw many farmers planting – this 48 row planter sure gets the job done! (This is a common sight here…they don’t mess around!)
One of the towns on the way had a whopping 45 people. Makes Prinsburg look like a metropolis!

Legos! This picture does not do it justice – every little piece of this monstrosity is made of legos!
We went to Sea Life (the aquarium) and only increased our desire for WARM weather! Seeing all of these exotic species made us want to go snorkeling in the Caribbean!
Seahorses are such fascinating creatures

I wanted to jump right in and join the fish!
One of the places that was a must was Build-A-Bear. We had never been to one before and it was rather intriguing!
I could’ve rode all of those rides! They looked like so much fun! I still have an inner kid in me because I LOVE fair rides and roller coasters!
For lunch we went to the Rainforest Cafe – pretty cool experience! This made me want to go to the Amazon.
We had a blast at the Mall! It definitely seems smaller as an adult than as a kid – we walked all the floors except 1 (there are 4, I think). Looking forward to going there again sometime – it wasn’t very busy, which was nice!
After a LONG day, it was snuggle time with Uncle Dan!
Oh how we love having visitors!
