Week 2
Part 1: Sunday-Wednesday
8.7-8.10
Sunday we had a family day with Grandpa & Grandma Patches, Uncle Steve, Aunt Davee, Austin, Tate, Maci & our family.
See the family resemblance?

And since you can't complete your visit to Orange City without the obligatory photo in the wooden shoe... :)
Windmill Park
Monday we went to Minnesota to see Paul & Laura.
We stopped by our friends the Groen's for lunch to catch up with them and meet Mika, who came home from Haiti in February!

The boys feeding their baby boys
Alex watching the girls play dress up:
Two princesses and a monkey wearing a tutu :)
Darling little girls.I SO wish they lived closer so that the moms... I mean, the girls... could have play dates more often. :)

We all made it in the photo on the first try!(Well, first try of this location!)
Tuesday morning we went to the Mall of America with Uncle Paul, Aunt Laura & Josephine
Emily has been asking to have her face painted for months, so we thought today was a good day to let her do it. :)

[Back home at Paul & Laura's]
Tyler, Jill & Julia just moved to Minnesota this week (and live just one suburb over from Paul & Laura) so they stopped by for an hour or two after dinner and we went to the park.
Em was a little confused as to why her CA friends were there, but happy to see them nonetheless.
Noah & Josephine
No, we didn't plan to match them... we all got ready in separate parts of the house and then found they were wearing the coordinating monkey onesies from Target.

Lunch at Potbelly's! Yum!
Laura introduced me to this delicious tea :)
Now I just have to try to find it out here!
This is one of my favorite photos of Emily...
maybe ever...
and I just snapped it quickly while we were eating lunch!
Uncle Paul & Em playing Kinect back at their house
{Noah kept trying to hold his cousin's hand}
Joey smiled!!!
...and then she cried.
...and cried a lot... (my kids weren't sure what to think)
...and then Noah decided he shouldn't let her cry alone...
