A Lot of Catching Up

This weekend, my cousin Shannon came to visit from Texas. It has been a LONG time since we have had a chance to spend time together and we had a lot of catching up to do. We drove up to Mall of America and shopped for the day, spent a morning at the zoo, hung out at our house a lot and topped the trip off with paddle boating at Gray's Lake. I even got a chance to have her to my self one evening. It was great. The boys LOVED having Shannon here and spent all their time competing for who could hold her hand. It was so nice to see that they feel a connection with her, even though we live so far apart.
