A Very Fun Week (Part 1)

While Mom & Dad spent a few days on vacation (more on that later), we spent a few days with Grandma & Papa Estochen. Aunt Renee & Uncle David were here for part of the time, too.

We went to many parks during their stay -- most of these were new to us!

Here is the story of our week:

Saturday after Mom & Dad went to the airport, we tried out our first park.

On Sunday, David & Renee came back from their wedding. They brought us a few surprises... the first one was a new swimming pool! It has fountains and sprinklers built right in. We helped set it up in our driveway. Brooke did NOT want to quit when it was time to go in the house!

After the pool, we went to Famous Dave's for supper.

On Monday, David & Renee took us shopping at the Mall of America. We all got new shoes! Then, we got to play at Nickolodean Universe!! We were in heaven -- all our favorite TV characters were there!

(Check out Brooke's new shoes!)

We ate lunch at the Rainforest Cafe before David & Renee had to flap their wings all the way back to California!

On Tuesday, we went to the puppet wagon at Stonemill Farms North Park. Afterwards, we all go to play with a puppet!

We also helped Papa wash his car!

On Wednesday, we went fishing by Daddy's fire station and had a picnic at the park. Neela caught 4 fish, and Kylie caught 1 big WHOPPER!

On Thursday, Grandma and Papa got very creative! They drove us to Toys R Us to get more pieces for our dollhouse. They promised us McDonald's, so they put "McDonald's" in the GPS -- and we ended up at the airport! Did you know there was a McDonald's IN the airport?? We had to find a different one!

We can't wait for them to come back and stay with us again!
