Grammy Visits MN for Labor Day Weekend

We were super excited to get the call from Grammy that she was coming to MN on the redeye Amtrak train. We were excited for her extended weekend visit, which was filled with lots of fun activities.

Our weekend started at Mall of America to thank Presley's friend Paige for taking care of Presley's hamster and fish for 3 weeks while we were traveling to NY and WA. Our crew was super adventurous crew with crazy roller coaster rides and climbing in the super tall ropes course. We ended the night with a fun dinner at the new Hard Rock Cafe.









Saturday we adventured to the MN State Fair. Little did we know when we left that this would be the single busiest day in the State Fair's history. We still had a blast with rides on the giant slide, go-carts, and rides at the Midway. We also enjoyed our favorite foods like cheese curds, fries, and beer from the Men's club as well as new foods like jello salad ice cream and blue cheese and corn fritters from the Blue Barn. We capped off the night with great music from 4 on the Floor at the new West End Market.







On Sunday, we enjoyed a beautiful drive down to Red Wing, MN to see the Kadow cousins and Great Granny. It was a beautiful day. We enjoyed a nice lunch and the kids had fun playing baggo, frisbee golf, and jumping on the trampoline. A fun day and a fun reunion. Mom then stayed home with the kids while Ron and Trisha went to their pals, the Simons' paella party.



For Labor Day, we explored a bit of the twin cities. We started the day in Rice Park in St. Paul to see the tribute to Charles Shultz and the bronze Peanuts sculptures. We then headed to Richfield to enjoy some malts and miniature golf on a really tough course.
