10 Reasons why last week ROCKED!

Okay, really it all comes down to one reason, Grandma Karen came to stay for the week which means total awesomeness ensued! Here are some of the highlights of her stay with us.

She taught Teya how to play hopscotch and Teya loved it!

We got to go see the sculpture gardens by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.

Here are a bunch of pics of us by the famous spoon and cherry, one of the most eye popping sculptures in the garden.


Teya actually liked the sculptures and had a great time running around and asking us if the "vultures" were going to eat her stuffed animals.

We also took Grandma to the Mill city museum and learned all about the flour plants that made Minneapolis the largest flour milling city in the nation.


The biscuits just looked too good. : )
Here's the fam at the top of the flour plant.


And one of the biggest highlights was that Grandma watched the girls for 2 1/2 days while Taber and I took a weekend getaway in downtown Minneapolis! While we were gone Teya and Brinley had so much fun with Grandma they didn't even know we were gone.


Here are some pictures that Grandma took while we were away. Stickers, goggles, slides, parks, push toys, bubbles, books, coloring, and abc's are just a few of the things that Granmda used to entertain them .


Meanwhile Taber and I thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on the beaches of Lake Harriet, hitting some great restaurants downtown, bowling, going to the movies, staying up late, sleeping in late, and exploring downtown without a care in the world.

A million hugs and a millions thank yous to a wonderful Grandma for a wonderful week!

There is just too much goodness in this post - I don't even know where to start. I love the pictures of Teya doing hopscotch with her grandma! And the sculptures (vultures! too funny!) are awesome! I want to go there and see the cherry and spoon.
And you, my friend, look so gorgeous in every single picture! Did you get your hair cut again? Or maybe I just haven't seen it down in recent pictures. It looks so good. I'm jealous of the weekend alone you guys had - what a fun thing. Daniel and I are taking trip to Boston next month and leaving the kids with his sister, and seeing the pics of you guys having so much fun is making me excited.
