Memorial Day

For memorial day each year our ward has a memorial day breakfast. The youth were in charge of it this year.  So here is the breakfast.

 This afternoon we went on a bike ride with some friends. We rode to a lake. Here are the boys way up on the life guard chair.

 And again for the second time in the past 5 days we are at Nelsons! It just opened last Saturday we totally like this place!!! 

Grandma and Grandpa

On Saturday we went downtown to get hotdogs (yum!!). There was a beautiful fountain.  We (start playing Mary Poppins) fed the birds ( tuppins a bag). 

St. Paul is the home town of the man who wrote Charlie Brown. So there are statues of Charlie Brown and other characters from Charlie Brown scattered all over St. Paul.  

This beauty is the James J Hill house. It is complete with 13 bathrooms, 22 fireplaces, 16 chandeliers, a reception hall nearly 100 feet long, a two story skylit art gallery, and a playroom which originally had a piano a stage and chests of dress up.  It is soooo pretty.

Nelson's ice cream is the BEST place in MN to get ice cream. It has even been named one of the top 25 place to get ice cream in the world!  The reason it is sooo amazing is because the give you a TON of ice cream for a GREAT price it is sooooo great.

Thank you sooo much for visiting Grandma and Grandpa we love you!!!
