MInnesota Summer 2011

Kourtney and I went to Minnesota for two and a half weeks from Aug 19th -Sept.4th. Zach came one week into the trip and joined us through the end. We did so much and spent a lot of time with my family.

Kourtney got to spend a lot of time with grandma and grandpa.

My not so little, little brother Jordan and I ran my first half marathon since I was pregnant and had Kourtney. We had a great time and it felt uh-mazing to finish under two hours since I had been training so hard!!!

My little sister moved to China the week I was home so it was nice to see her before her trip and have her and Kourtney spend some time together :)

Next on our trips itinerary was my grandparents 70th Wedding Anniversary party! What an amazing event to be able to witness and attend. :)

After we got home and we were all relaxing Kourtney found her way into the other room and decided to show grandma that the clips she got to keep her out of the cleaning supplies were .... well not quite as smart as her :)

Kourtney also had a BLAST trying to catch grandmas cat. It was so cute to watch her try and try to catch the cat! Grandma even got Kourtney to almost say "cat". Really cute if you ask me :)

Kourtney goes to her SECOND TWINS game. Weirdly enough....both against the Detroit Tigers!

 Grandpas always get the babies to sleep so peacefully :)

 Ah batter batter...... Swing ....and a HOME RUN!!!!!

We did a lot of fun things during our trip. We took Kourtney to Science Museum of Minnesota during the day one day and explored all the fun exhibits they had. We saw a exhibit on babies and their development. It was really interesting to try on the glasses and see what the babies could see, hear, and the specific development tasks at the 1mo, 3mo, 6mo, and 9mo stages. We also saw a weather, dinosaur, light, math, and human body exhibit. Whew! What fun!!!

Later that day we went for a cool off at Minnehaha Falls with my older brother Seneca and his adorable little girl Aurora! So fun watching Kourtney and Aurora play!

Well this blog is getting quit long. So I am going to take a break and finish the rest of our
trip  in the next blog! I hope you all enjoyed the pictures so far!

On a final note we found out during our trip that Kourtney is going to be getting another girl cousin in January! CONGRATULATIONS Kristen & Jer!!!!!!! Kourtney is going to love having another girl cousin so close in age to her :)
