A night out of town

Last wkd, we got the opportunity to have a night out of town. We went a whole 15 miles to grafton, our neighbor city! ;) We get awesome discounts at the Hampton Inn bc my mom works there so we decided to spend a night, do lots of swimming, go out for dinner, get some ice cream at our favorite ice cream place, and enjoy a gourmet continental breakfast the next morning, which was extra special bc my mom was working and works in the kitchen. So, basically, we ate like kings and queens that morning and my mom so nicely made what we wanted and served us. I got a good mom :) The next day, we took the kids to build a bear with the gift certificates from our friends in MN(thank you) and had lunch at the mall, then just kinda bummed around for the rest of the day.
'Freaky side note:' 2 wks before we went to the mall there was a mob of kids who invaded it making chaos running through it. And the night before we went, the mall had a bomb threat. We did not know this until we left the mall and I dont think I would've went knowing that.

But the two days 'out of town' were a definitely needed and fun family time! :)

Yummy ice cream


It snowed like crazy when we went out for ice cream! It was beautiful!


Swimming


Grady LOVED the water and did not want us holding him, he wanted to do it all on his own!
He has NO fear!


Mia also loved the water and has become quite a good swimmer





Build a bear


Washing their bears


Grady's bear (Andy thought it would be cute to get them all underwear for their animals since we didn't have enough for their outfits that were about $20 a piece!)
