So, from W. Des Moines, we traveled to Elk River. Our goal was to travel during nap time -- M is usually an awesome napper in the car. After not sleeping so well in IA, we thought she would just totally clonk out. No dice. *This began M's not-so-awesome sleeping habits.
BUT, we did get to MN in one piece and even made it through stinky traffic to get to Elk River. JJ actually had to figure out the root of this evil traffic. Basically, Minneapolis has more people within a smaller area, while KC is the opposite. Now you know.
We had a fabulous time visiting with the Fs - my bff TA, her hubby M and her hilarious baby girl (well not SO much of a baby anymore!) B. B was nothing but smiles and sunshine, waving at everyone and being an awesome eater (and sharer of toys)! M was deathly afraid of their dog, N, who made zero noise and could've cared less about M. *This began M's not-so-awesome fear of dogs. (not in general, but on this vacation)
Thursday morning we were able to meet up with a friend of mine, E, who goes way, WAY back to my RA days!! It was just amazing to meet up with her and finally meet her sweet little girl, L. We (TAF, B, my girl M and I) met L and E at the MN Children's Museum. We had an awesome time - and the kiddos LOVED it!
Back in Elk River, we enjoyed some pool time... and TAF totally indulged me in the game department! We played a new game (Spot It), a card game I just started getting the hang of at the end, and TA even bought jeopardy for wii that was fun for hours! : )
