More Visitors!

We had so much fun with Don while he was here, and we didn't have much time to feel too lonely because the night he left, my mom, sister, and my nephew all flew in!

This was my sister's first time back to Minnesota since September of 2009 (when we all spent a portion of their trip sick...good times!), and it was so great that my mom decided to take the trip with her as well.  We had a few "Minnesota" type things we wanted to do in the short time they were here, and I am pretty sure we were able to accomplish all of them!

It was also the first time Gelsey got to meet Mr. Landon, and for Landon to meet his cousin, Cruze, who is only 4 months older than him!  They had a great time "playing" together (more like, just looking at each other), taking baths together, etc.  I am also pretty sure that Cruze is to blame for Landon crawling....I think what can I say?  Monkey see, monkey do.  :)

We spent some time shopping, and eating out at some yummy places...one of those being the Malaysian place that we took my parents to when they were out here in May.  Gelsey has been dying to go there, after hearing that it was pretty legit, and I have to say, it didn't disappoint.  The only thing I am bummed about, is that now, a month later, I realized we forgot to order one of our favorite Malaysian dishes, mee hoon.  Oh well.  I still think Gelsey was pretty satisfied with the roti canai, satay chicken, and the mango chicken. 

Also on the agenda was the apple orchard.  This has pretty much become a tradition of ours every fall, and it was so fun that my mom and sister and Cruze were able to come.  Plus, it is a "Minnesota experience..." or at least an experience that they don't get in Colorado and Wyoming.  We were able to pick apples and raspberries, take pictures at some of the fun things around the orchard, and enjoy apple cider brats.  Yummy!  It was a bit chilly, but it was the perfect way to spend a fall day.

It was a quick trip (really, anytime we have company I feel like any amount of time is too short), and before we knew it, it was Sunday and they had to catch their early morning flight.  Fortunately, we weren't apart for too long, because Cameron and I drove back to Wyoming that Thursday and spent the next 9 days there!  More on that coming in the next post..

Thanks Gelsey and Mom (and Cruzey!) for making the time and effort to come out and see us!  We loved having you, and already wish you were coming again!
