July 4th in Minneapolis

Once again, I am pretty behind with blogging, so get ready for lots of posts to catch up! Over the 4th of July weekend, Dan was able to get us last minute tickets to Minneapolis to visit his brother and sister-in-law and their new addition, Keaton. It was a long, delayed flight and our bags got lost, but we made it and had a great weekend with the family!
One of the main reasons for our trip was to meet this little guy:

Keaton is a real cutie!

and Emma loved hanging out with him

She also enjoyed making funny faces with Aunt Tricia

Emma was really excited about the science kit that they got her

But she was more excited about hanging out with Keaton

Scott and Tricia live within walking distance of this beautiful lake

Ian was not sure what to think of Keaton.....

But everyone knows the way to this little boy's heart...

Hold him down!

Its the trolley (or has he calls it, the choo choo!)

Happy boy!

"Hanging Out"

The end of the line
Back at home, Emma and Uncle Scott broke out the science kit

Good thing someone was reading the directions!

Some of our finished experiments

We also hit the children's museum. Hanging out in the toddler room (Ian was off exploring)

We had a great time hanging out and meeting this new guy! Thank you Scott and Tricia for hosting us for a great weekend!
