Special Weekend

Disclaimer: These pictures are somewhat out of the order in which they occurred. I was just too lazy to switch them all around.
So, we had a really fun weekend. A dear college friend of mine, Melissa, came all the way from Philly to visit! It was so much fun having her here. Callie had met her this past summer and remembered her. She was excited to have "Moj" around too. The weekend was full of fun. On Saturday, we went to the mall of America. We got to enjoy some free rides. Callie had a blast and probably the highlight was riding "Swiper's cars" (which actually went kinda fast) with Melissa. She was such a big girl. I could tell a big difference from the last time that we went on rides at the mall. In previous times, we've had to encourage her to ride. This time she was very eager.



She is not riding by herself. Those are my legs below the Zebra. My face didn't quite make the picture.

This guy was happy (until the very end).




Before the mall, we enjoyed a Very cheap breakfast at Ikea. They basically give their food away. We got 4 breakfast plates, 1 waffle, 2 orders of swedish pancakes, and 2 coffees for only $7. Can't beat that!

On Friday after Melissa arrived, I had to take her to do something very Minnesotan. No, we didn't ice fish in this ice fishing house, but we did walk across the lake. I was a little nervous b/c this winter has been so mild. But, I felt better when I saw that ice fishing houses were still up. Then I saw an SUV parked in the middle of the lake and that completely eased my mind.


We had such a good time with you Moj! Thanks for coming all this way just to see us!
