minnesota was good to us

we just got back from minnesota this morning. it was such an amazing vacation! my uncle lives in minnetrista right on lake minnetonka- and decided that he wanted to fly us out. of course we said yes :) there were 17 of us on the plane and we loved every second of it!! the first day we were there we got all ready and got in our 15 passenger bus and went to the mall of america. kennedy was in heaven! we rode rides for the first little bit and then once kennedy saw the american girl store we went in there forever. and- she almost came out with one :) im so bummed i feel like we were only there for 2 seconds. there was just too much to see.

this is the view from one of the food courts overlooking all of the rides :)

then we went boating the next day on a big pontoon boat that fit all 19 of us. the lake was so pretty!! my uncle has such a fun car that we all took turns driving in. this is my cousin chelsey and i before-

and after-


:)



ry and kennedy loved swimming in the lake- for all of you that know me, you know that i stayed inside that boat. especially after that awesome shark week ;)

im pretty sure i have gained 10 pounds after all of the amazing food we ate. the sign of an amazing vacation!!



my cute cousins-
amanda and chelsey


and we even got to celebrate the hubs birthday when we were there. man he sure loves his wife ;)


we had so much fun!!

but- i couldn't WAIT to get home to this little man



i think he's secretly mad at us for leaving him behind :)

minnesota was so good to us!!
