This past month has been full of crazy moments with family and friends. Our first visit to Minnesota since we have had Brooklyn. My oldest brother (Jared) blessed his newest daughter Rachel on March 17th. We flew three hours with our wiggle worm daughter. So many adventures in such a short amount of time.
One of the fun adventures was to paint finger nails. My nieces: Abigail and Madilyn wanted to paint Grandpas, Daddy, and Uncle Doug's toenails. The boys were major troopers and let the girls paint sparkles and purple/pink all over their toes.

Grandpa Mike doing his best to paint Madilyn's toenails. What a great Grandpa!
Daddy Jared letting Abigail paint sparkly Hot pink on his toes!
One of the fun things about Minnesota visits is that I have two brothers there. One of my younger Brothers (Logan) lives in Rochester too. He came over to hang out one night. He found a fun toy and showed all the grandchildren how to use it... Funny thing is that it left a huge hickey like bruise on his forehead afterwards! haha
Logan and his skills!
Brooklyn and her uncle Logan. They had a great time getting to know each other.
So another fun adventure while in MN was to visit Mall of America! On the bottom floor they have an aquarium. It took us around two hours to go through the whole thing. It was amazing!

We walked through these large tunnels with the fish over head. This picture is one of the many with the large stingrays.
Brooklyn and daddy could practically touch the big sharks!
Mommy pretending to through Bug in with the alligators.. of course I would never do that. She had a firm grip on the rail though. hehehe
After the tour through the Aquarium we went two floor up and decided to go through the theme park and ride a few rides. The theme park used to be Snoopy Land, But now it it Nickelodeon Land.

On the fourth floor was the food court. The floor below it was Lego Land. They had real large displays made out of entirely Legos. Doug was totally in love with that store.
Then the last Adventure was the whole reason we went to Minnesota. The Newest addition to the Jared and Catherine Ross clan was little Rachel Ann Ross. She was blessed on March 17th. It was a beautiful day and was spent with family and friends.

While we were visiting at Jared and Catherine's house Brooklyn fell in love with one of the cousin's toys. She found this rocking horse and wanted to ride it. She loved all the fun toys that her cousins have.

After three days of adventure and family fun we were on the plane yet again heading back to Idaho. This is little bug's fourth time flying. She is becoming a pro at it now. She was all smiles and giggles through most of the flight. The rest of the time she was snoozing.
Thank you Jared and Catherine for inviting us to share such a wonderful family adventure. We loved spending time with your amazing family. We love you and can't wait to spend time with you again soon. Well I hope all is great in your neck of the woods!
