Happy Valentine's Day!

From our little Valentine's...

This is what their Valentine Day's looked like at school! Eddie celebrated on Thursday and brought his friends pencils.."Valentine you're just WRITE". And Rowan took straws..."sip sip hooray it's Valentine's Day"! Rowan decorated her own box and Eddie a bag (one at home and one at school).

Originally, we didn't have any other plans for Valentine's day...we were going to do fondue with the kids and lay low. Until last night at dinner, when we got a text from Nicki that they were in the car on their way to the Mall of America, wondering if we would want to meet them tomorrow! We couldn't turn down an offer like that...so we met them at lunch time...and didn't get home until after 7pm.

 

We had lunch at Dick's Last Resort. Was our first time there...food was good, service not good. But that is how it is supposed to be there. Rude, funny, fun time.

They made hats for people and wrote on them...Eddie was 'for sale'.

After lunch we headed into the mall madness. Nicki wanted to do the mirror maze...we didn't even know it existed! It was fun! We went through a few times because kids had so much fun, gloves and all.

Did a couple rides...

...and games!

 Rowan and Nicki did the log ride...

Then we did a short round of bowling...

And lastly headed to a Mexican restaurant for dinner! Then we headed home, Nicki, Christian and Grey did a little shopping before heading back to their hotel. They insisted on staying right by the hotel so they could be close to the action. They headed back towards home the next morning.

Was a very fun day! Went by fast! We love it when people come to visit. So glad we were free to spend the day with them.
