| At Shedd Aquarium |
Although summer is over for us since Nate is back in school, I am still trying to get caught up on pics from our summer vacation. Nate's cousin got married in
Minneapolis,
so we made a trip out of it with numerous stops. We started in
Chicago...went to Shedd Aquarium, Giordannos Pizza, Ikea, Willow Creek
for a Kari Jobe concert, explored downtown with the kids. It was
great. Kids of course loved the aquarium...Nate I spent our day chasing
them from one thing to the next. Seth is never looking for us...he is
on the go! Hannah loved being at her first concert. She was dancing in
the aisles, went right up by the stage, mesmerized by everything. It
was really sweet. If you haven't checked out Kari Jobe, highly recommend
her. Great worship music. Next we headed to Madison Wisconsin and
met up with Nate's parents to visit Nate's old stomping grounds (they
lived their 5 years when he was little). Leslie showed us around the
city and we all went to the city's FREE zoo. We heard the lions
roaring...that was pretty cool. We spent the weekend in
Minneapolis,
exploring downtown and going to the Global City Market where Nate had
his first Camel Burger! He liked it! We also took the kids to the Mall
of America. OUr kids were a little small for the rides, but they loved
all the activity and things to look at. They are both big Dora fans,
but when it came for their chance to actually meet Dora in costume, they
were terrified! Hannah did give her a high five, but they were both
clinging to us for dear life. So funny. At the wedding, Hannah pulled out all the dance moves! She
couldn't take her eyes off "the girl in the white dress"! Finally, on
the way back we stopped in Madison again and went to a childrens museum
there to break up the trip. The kids did wonderful and we had so much fun together. Check out all the pics below.
