Memorial Day Weekend











We had such a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! Andrew's parents came up on Friday and stayed until Monday evening. We loved spending time with them and showing them where we live. On Friday evening we went and saw Indiana Jones, then went out to eat. On Saturday, we went hiking at Whitewater State park and had a picnic. We then drove around and toured Rochester for a bit. That evening we had a BBQ and came home and played SCRABBLE! We love that game! On Sunday, after church, we drove up to Stillwater, MN and saw a crazy storm! There was a tornado only 15 min. away from us! We just walked around Stillwater and relaxed that evening (and played Scrabble again). Monday, we walked around some more and shopped in the cute antique and artsy stores in downtown Stillwater. We then went to the Mall of America where we saw Iron Man, ate and shopped. We loved having Andrew's parents with us for the weekend and wish they could stay longer! They are so wonderful and carry such a great spirit with them. It felt so great to be around them. All in all we had a very a enjoyable, fun-filled weekend. Thanks you guys!!!

Looks like a perfect weekend! Wish we were there too!(= Glad you guys had a fun time and that you didn't get any closer to that crazy tornado.

I was thinking about you guys when I saw the news about the tornado! I'm glad you had a fun weekend and that it didn't get any closer to you- 15 miles is close enough.
Oh, and I want to go to the Mall of America someday!

I love the Mall of America, and Kenton and Sharee rode that roller coaster like 3 times at night. Stay away from dark clouds dudes!

oh man. How exciting! Seems to me that you had an excellent Memorial day weekend! I'm so glad you got a chance to see some family. I know it can be hard being away from your fam here in utah. I'm glad you didn't die in that tornado! That's so scary!
