Family Fun!

This past weekend we were SO excited to have Brittany, Linnea, Karin, and Mom come visit! It was Minnesota’s Fall Break so Britta decided to bring the girls for a visit. (Mom is staying in Minnesota for a few weeks while Dad goes hunting so she was able to come along for the visit!) We had a great time! Asher loved all the extra attention and the energy and excitement of his cousins. We sure wish Auntie Erica and Jasper and Benjamin could have been here too! We can hardly wait until Christmas!!! :)

Friday the girls played around the house in the morning -- they had a blast playing school with the large white board from our garage. In the afternoon we went to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum, which was lots of fun (I hadn’t been since college)! Asher loved all the things to look at and was a trooper, skipping his afternoon nap. Friday night we had a game night.

Saturday was CHILLY, but we braved the elements anyway to go pick apples and pumpkins.

We ended the day with a “movie night” (requested by Linnea and Karin). We watched Beethoven (talk about a blast from the past!) The most fun was actually watching Karin watch the movie. She was a WRECK during the sad part of the movie. She was sure the family would never get their dog back. There were LOTS of tears… we were all relieved when the movie came together and Beethoven was happily home with his family. :) For those of you who don’t remember the movie very well there is a bad guy “vet” who tricks the family and says that Beethoven bit him and so they need to put Beethoven down. He then takes the dog and is going to hurt him. Well the family catches on to his schemes (but not before Karin was yelling “liar liar!” at the TV). I felt badly laughing while Karin was crying, but it was hilarious! Thankfully I cry when I laugh hard enough so I tried to pass my hysterics off for sadness.

Sunday was the prettiest day and wouldn’t you know it, we spent it indoors! We went to church and Uncle Chris’s classroom so the girls could see it and play school for a bit. After that we played at home and made some applesauce with our apples from Saturday.

Thanks for coming such a long distance for a quick weekend visit! We had such a great time! Love you all!!
