After getting settled into Rachel's house, we headed out to the Mankato Children's Museum. It was really fun, and there were many activities to keep both kids very entertained. They played their little hearts out. We were there for a good 2 hours, which was enough for all of us. The kids napped on the way back to Rachel's house. Ryan joined us in the evening, and we grilled out for supper and then put 2 very tired kiddos to bed.
After the kids were asleep, we all enjoyed some well-deserved beers, and played a few rounds of cards against humanity. We all stayed up too late, but we had a lot of fun and it was nice to have some sibling bonding time.
On Sunday, we celebrated Easter with my dad's side of the family. Everyone on my dad's side of the family was there, so a miracle happened and we got a family photo of everyone. I don't know if any of them actually turned out, but it was nice we actually got around to taking one. We also got a picture of the four of us, which we haven't done in almost a year, so it was a little overdue.
Sunday was really fun. I really do enjoy family time, and it was nice to see everyone and visit with them. The weather was pretty nice. It was 65 degrees out, but really, really windy. The kids had a blast. Emma followed Jenna around everywhere and really had fun with her, but she talked to everybody and had a good time. Elliott wasn't too shy either. He ran around, ate a lot of food, and had fun with everybody.
We even walked to a park and let the kids burn off some energy on a playground for a while. Everyone seemed to get a long and have a good time.
The ride home was long. We didn't leave until 4:30pm, so we didn't get home until 7. Ugh. The ride went pretty smoothly. Emma slept for most of it, and Eli was good until about the last 20 miles, when he lost his patience and complained the rest of the way home.
This week has been pretty uneventful, but it has flown by. Eli and I are battling colds, so I have been trying to get some extra rest. We are heading to Minnesota this weekend again for Holly Bruns' wedding. John is shooting it, and we are staying at Jackpot Saturday night, so it should be pretty fun. But it's going to be fast, and busy, and we will be pretty tired by Monday morning. But mom and dad are watching the kids on Saturday, so we have a kid-free night! Yay!
Here's to a busy weekend!!!
