Trip to MN 4/18-4/20

Brian, Kelly, and I went to MN this weekend to visit my brother and his family. We had a great weekend!!! On Friday we met up and the dads went to Cabela's and the moms and kids went to and outlet mall. I found a few good deals! :) The guys met up with us and we let Kelly and Benjamin play on the outside playground at the mall while we finished our shopping.
On Saturday, we went to Como Zoo in St. Paul. The kids LOVED IT!!!! We saw LOTS of animals....giraffes, zebras, monkeys, tigers, cougars, lions, seals, fish, and many more! They were also celebrating Earth Day at the zoo so they had tables set up for kids to paint their own flower pots. It was really neat and fun for the kids. Then they gave them seeds to plant flowers in there new painted pots!!!
On Sunday, we met up with Tracy (my college friend) and her family (Austin 2 1/2 & Ellie 10 months). We let the kids play and then went out to lunch. It was fun catching up and meeting her family.
