We pulled the kids out a couple days early from school in order to fly back with Chad home to Minnesota on June 23rd. He had been traveling right up until the night before and then had to get up early and make the long flight with us :( However, thankfully he knew that he would be eating his long awaited Zan's when we arrived so that made him feel a little better!
We stayed in a hotel in Woodbury the first week so he could go in to the office. That was a good time for us to hang out with our neighbors, see our house, and do all of our doctor/dentist appointments.
I see our deck 2 down :) So strange to be so close to your own house, but not be able to go in it!!
Had great seats to a Twins game with our neighbors.
We stayed at my parent's house pretty much the whole summer, minus a week down in Mankato. With Val's wedding on July 14 we had plenty to do :) After the wedding, Chad had to go back to Shanghai. It's great having a nice long summer back in the US, but Chad doesn't have that much vacation to stay with us the whole time so it's hard when he has to go back. Also means that I fly solo home on the LONG flight back with the kiddos!
4th of July party at my parents
Long day out in the sun and in the chlorine :)
Tubing and hanging out at the lake with some friends
Had a great time until it was almost time to leave. Brady mistakenly ate a Reese's Pieces cookie instead of the M & M one he had earlier. He has never had any peanuts as he was diagnosed with a peanut allergy from a blood and skin test when he was a baby. Thankfully, we had a EpiPen on us and I had to inject him with it as throat was starting to swell!! Got him to the ER and was monitored and sent home fine. Although, he kept telling everyone there that his mommy shot him :)
Rilynn and Brady were able to enjoy a lot of time with their cousins, Connor and Brady. Rilynn really enjoyed taking care of Ryder!
Was able to be with my godson, Ryder, as he was baptized.
Tennis with Grandpa
3rd tooth gone!
While down in Mankato visiting Grandma and Grandpa Reed we went to see 2 days of Vikings Training Camp
The kids spent a week with Gma and Gpa Reed down in Mankato. They had a lot of fun and mommy did too :)
We had a great 6 weeks visiting everyone!! 4 more months and then we'll be back home for good :)
That's super cool! Water sports and birthday is a great idea for kids. But it should be safe enough. Will ask about some of the garden spaced event halls for rent in our city for my son's birthday also. Want to make his day every special with friends and mates. I think a sporty theme would do very well.
