Time to go home

Wed night we stayed up late as Dad and Bonnie had to head out to the train at 11pm. I got home from bowling about 9 with Kristie so we started playing a racing game to kill time. And even Bonnie got into the race! Remind me not to let her drive me anywhere!! The lady crashed all the time!

So they got off just fine and Dennis talked to them yesterday and they were in ND and on the way into Montana. And they were still on time. They should get to Portland this morning and then they will drive back to K-falls and back to work on Monday for them. I hope they had a good time! The kids had a hard time saying goodbye. They do not understand that their Grandparents do not live in the same state so no matter where we are you have to learn to say goodbye to someone.

But the older ones did fine yesterday. The younger 2 did not have a great day since not only did Grandma and Grandpa leave Daddy went back to work! Oh to say it was a lot of crying yesterday is the under statment of the year. Even Kristie was ready to sell them at the corner to anyone.

Underwater world here we are!

Yes we went to underwater world! And the kids had a blast as they always do! Mini and Matthew checked out everything and I mean everything! And Mini got right up close with the bear to be sure it was not real. Matthew would point at a fish and order me to take a picture of it. So you will see his arm in reflection on a lot of shots because he had to be right there to be sure I got the right picture of the right fish! So stinking cute he is!

And then we found Nemo and Dori from the finding Nemo movie and Mini would have stayed there all day wearing what else but her Nemo sweatshirt I made her! But alas we made them move on from Nemo and leave Underwater World once more.

The Mall of America

We headed off to the mall of america right after the older kids left for school and we stayed there till it was time for them to get home off the bus! A long day of walking and shopping but we got to see some neat things like the lego land. Mini held Grandma Bonnies hand on the way to the mall to make sure she did not get lost!

Kelley Farm

These are from the farm the other day. The one of the horses shows the wheel that exploded into a million and one pieces. And the leather strap that broke. The one of Dennis holding the log is what they used to stop the treadmill so they could get the horses off of it and then tend to their cuts. We got to let the kids pet a calf that was walking around too and see the big cows. They also got to try thier hand at beating the wheat by hand. Lots of work and not so neat. The kids took the wheat and bagged it out of the threshing machine to. All of this before the wheel broke of course.

Grandma and Grandpa liked the farm and walked around and checked things out. They got to watch all the excited kids help out on a farm.

They are here!

Dad and Bonnie are upstairs sound alseep! They got in very early this morning. Dennis left at 4:30am to go get them and got back here I want to say at 6am. (Me I stayed sleeping as one of us had to stay with the children who sleep sometimes!)

And since they are all sleeping I will go download some pictures for you all as I know you just want to see what I have been doing!
