Wonderful Weekends

It was a 4 day weekend for us, so we headed up north to Moorhead to visit Uncle Robby, Auntie Nicole, and Cousin Kylie. Grandma and Grandpa Nyhlen came down on Saturday to spend the day with all of us, too!

Here is Zander sleeping in the car. Doesn't he look comfy?

One of the times that all the kids were happy playing together. There tends to be a lot of tears when 1, 2, and 3 year olds all are learning how to share.

Grandpa rescues Zander from one of his "I am going to walk this way" moments.

On Saturday, we went to a children's museam. It was a really nice day.

Zoey got to play at a park. Her favorite thing to do is to get on these springy animals and yell, "Yippee Kay Yi Yay! Cowgirl Zoey!"Zander explored the entire museum!

One of Zoey's favorite rooms was the music room--she got to make a ton of noise.

Cousin Kylie also liked the music room.

The highlight of the trip (at least for the kids and maybe grandpa) was going on the merry-go-round. We are pretty sure that this was Zander's first time on the carousel. He seemed to like it.
When we got back, Grandma and the girls went out the rake/play in the leaves.
Here is Zander moments before his face met the sidewalk--he looks like he won a pretty good fight.
Once we were home sweet home on Sunday, Zander continued working on the yard. We will never get rid of all of the leaves that continue to fall!

We had a great time with all of you this weekend. Thanks for coming to Moorhead!
Zander, if you're anything like your Uncle Rob, by the time you're old enough or big enough to really help with those leaves, you won't want to anymore. (Your mommy was sort of like that too.)

that looks like a lot of fun - playing in the leaves! (the raking part, not so much)

Thanks for coming down and spending the weekend with us. It was a blast.

We'll have to pick a weekend to come down your way.

I still have to say my favorite part was when we had the girls in the same room and Kylie kept saying there was a monster in her room.

Then when we seperated them Zoey telling Judy that she was the monster.
