Party in Minnesota

My parents are going to China for a year through our Church to teach English at a University. A couple of weeks ago we had a final gathering in Minnesota before they left. It was such a blast! Abigail LOVED being with her grandparents and cousins. Since my parents are moving out of their house, it was pretty empty and perfectly baby proofed:). Below are a lot of pictures, all from my phone so some are better quality than others.


Abigail and grandma making a baby gate so certain little ones didn't fall down the stairs. It worked quite well.

One morning we had donuts from Valley Pastries and even though she had never had a donut, Abigail knew she wanted to be first in line. 

Before this Abigail ate a full breakfast and still ate almost the entire sprinkle donut grandpa gave her! (And no, she wasn't sick afterward:)).

 Abigail LOVED playing with her cousins. Tyler is just 2 weeks younger than her.

 Lisa's cute kid, Zach.

 We went to the Minnesota Zoo one day and even saw Dinosaurs!

 One night we went to a Twins game and had a great time. The weather was just about perfect. Will and I enjoying the game:

We hung out multiple times at Paul & Sarah's house. It was really hot and Abigail enjoyed her first experience with popsicles. 

Abigail found this dress up costume and wanted to put it on. Funny girl:

Grandkids love Grandpa!

Grandma Ruth's birthday is in September so we had a party while everyone was in town! It was lots of fun. Here are the Grandkids with Grandpa Stevens.

Abigail loved playing with Grandpa:

Mary (or the video on her iphone) were very popular;)

Grandma took the grandkids to McDonald's one day for lunch. 

Dessert was the best part:

Even though it looks like she is trying to get off in this picture, Abigail just followed my mom everywhere and constantly wanted to be picked up by her!

It was such a super trip!
