Grandpa Steve

Grandpa Steve came for a very quick visit last weekend from California.  He arrived on Thursday evening and on Friday morning we took off to drive up north to visit Great Grandma Erna.  It had been way too long since we last saw her.  It's about a 6 hour trip and we surprisingly made it right around there even with three kids in tow.

We took Grandma Erna out to dinner that evening and then out for breakfast Friday morning.  We said our goodbyes around noon on Friday.  We had such a great visit with her and hope to get up there to see her again soon.  We took a little side trip to the Mall of America while we were up north.  I thought the boys would like to see Lego Land.  They loved it!

Nash again.  Nolan can be quite stubborn when it comes to pictures!

We were there probably an hour or a little more and decided to grab something to eat.  Here's where things turned sour.  Nolan yacked in the food court and quickly ended our side trip.  We went back to the hotel and the boys played with their new Ninjagos.

Nolan ended up getting sick again at breakfast and about 4 more times on the way home.  Poor guy.  Miraculously, no one else got whatever he had.  Grandpa Steve left Sunday morning so it was a very quick trip but we had a great time with him.  Thanks so much for making the trip!
