Well Dan Sam and I went to Minnesota two weekends ago to visit his two best friends since childhood and their spouses/significant others...It was a lot of fun. Here are a few of the main points of the trip:
1. One of the guys (Mark) had an appendectomy on Thursday night. We were scheduled to arrive on Friday. I was like are we still going to go maybe we shouldn't. Also his wife (Michelle) is like almost 8 months pregnant so I thought it may be a little stressful but it all worked out fine. Mark took lots of percaset (spelling) and was able to do everything we did..
2. We went to a pumpkin patch on Saturday way out in the country. Everyone totally made fun of me for wanting to go but all 7 of us packed up and went and had a great time. Just getting there was an adventure. It was not only a pumpkin patch it was an apple orchard and a petting zoo type place. It ended up being perfect weather for it. We also had Kenny's (the other best friend of my husbands) girlfriend Trish there to take some amazing pictures for us. We also had fresh apples from the orchard with caramel to dip them in....YUMMY!!
3. I think the highlight of the pumpkin patch for Dan was me falling in the pumpkin patch and breaking a pumpkin...It was pretty scary (because I had Sam in my arms) but I fell backwards basically ended up sitting on the (broken) pumpkin. I was really afraid of damage to my rear end but all was well and it was pretty darn funny.
4. We went to the Mall of America and had lunch one day and shopping afterwards. Sam got a tad overwhelmed with it all and passed out cold for an hour.
5. The plane rides were fine she was a total trooper although not very good sleeper at night while on the trip but that is okay. We were getting those looks before the plane like oh great I hope I don't have to sit next to them and lots of comments after we landed man she was soooo good I never heard a peep from her...
Here are a few of our favorite pics from the trip:
