MOA and Grandma's School

This morning after picking Daddy up at the airport we went to the Sea Life Aquarium at Mall of America.  Anderson was not a fan of walking through the tunnels and seeing the fish and sharks overhead.  However, he did touch a starfish!  Callie did ok in the tunnels once we started looking for the fish and sharks eyes and noses.  We then had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe.  We had the best set in the house-it was right against an aquarium!  After naps on the ride home we stopped at Grandma's school to play and to meet her friends and students.

Family and Friends Visits

We've spent the last few days visiting with family and friends.  Tuesday afternoon we went to Aunt Merri's, sadly we didn't take any pictures:(  Wednesday morning Aunt Carla, Cousin Tessa and Baby Kendalyn came over to play and Thursday morning my friend from high school and college Susannah came to visit with her boys-Miles and William-notice all the red hair!  In between visits Liam had some big moments-grabbing toys and his first bath in the big tub!

Stillwater and the Apple Orchard

Sunday Callie seemed to be feeling better so we headed to Stillwater for lunch on the patio and a little river walking.  Everything seemed to be going fine (other than a leak out from Anderson but we had back up clothes with so no biggie) so we headed to the Apple Orchard about 30 minutes and 2 leaks in we decided it was time to leave.  We left with one little bag of apples and I'll be honest I was quite sad I didn't get any apple cider, apple pie, apple doughnut...anyways, Anderson is becoming quite the little boy-stuffing his pockets with rocks, pulling on strings, and stomping apples.

Brenda's Baby Shower

Saturday we had Brenda's Baby Shower. Poor little Callie wasn't feeling well so her and David hung out in the basement while Liam and I attended the shower and Anderson hung out with his new buddy Uncle Josh and the men outside.  However, when it came time to open presents Anderson and Lucy were champs at helping!  And the highlight of the day for Anderson was going to feed Uncle Josh's neighbor's horses!
