The Minnesota Trip

The first weekend of October we went to Minnesota to see Mike, Alia and the kids.

My Grandparents went up there, my parents and us. We all when to the casino for dinner. And boy can those kids eat!

Sam's birthday was in September so we wanted to take him to get a build a bear, he was so cute he picked out a cheeta, named it Cheeta (takes after my brother) picked out pink bunny slippers and a really cool motorcycle for it to ride. Then we went to the amusement park in the mall of America. Uncle Gabe was the luckey one to go round and round with him. Except for a few that we all went on.

It was also Grace's baptism (finally) Alia had to cancel 4 times because of all of us. Sorry, Alia but thank you. Grace is a character she just smiles but she will tell you what she wants, she has a mind of her own, but man oh man does she have a great personality. At the baptism, she just wanted to play with the water and when we came back for a spaghetti dinner she told us she was hungry by sitting in her chair on the floor, it was so cute.

Sam did really good at the baptism and so did Sophia (she is such a cutie)

It was a very eventfull weekend because, on sunday my brother ran this 26 mile marathon, which as normal he did great at. After 26 miles he was still smiling. The year before in 95 degree weather that was another story.
