Tyson lori emma and mason came to visit yesterday, we had the funnest day. first we went to the zoo and had a picnic lunch, we even tried minnesotas famous cheese curds ( maybe not so famous but everyone here eats them), basically they are deep fried chunks of cheesse.... surprisingly really good. the animals were all really active not just laying in some corner of there cage asleep. we got to ezperience the orangatangs cleaning each others behinds, Emma was super concerned about this, as were we all. mason ran back and forth all day and never sseemed to get tired it was hilarious. 
after the zoo we went to the mall of america and got tickets to the largest indoor theme park in the world, it really was super crazy being inside and going on all of the rollercoasters... well me and lori didnt go on them but tyson chris emma and mason did. after that we went into the 2 story american girl doll store and emma was so in love with the dolls she kept saying " I just want one girl mom" I guess it seemed reasonable to her since there was so many, lori appeased her by getting her a catalog to circle what she wanted, every time would would even semi stop walking to see were to go she would plop right down in the middle of the floor and start circling away. She even borrowed a pen from the lady next to us on the metro to continue circling on the way to the target stadium to watch the twins versus braves. needless to say practivally the whole book was circled by the time we got there.
the twins game was super fun, luke was a trooper the whole day but by 8 o clock it was past his bedtime and he started crying during the game, and then was out like a light from his busy day and didnt even wake up when the crowd would erupt with cheers, I was so impressed with him. we had stadium hot dogs for dinner cause what else would you eat at a major league baseball game? we all wore twins jerseys which made it even more fun, Emma was so into the game she would stand up and yell and cheer and shout frustrations at the players it was so funny because i didnt even think she would know what was going on. Mason was just wired the whole time it was hilarious. when the game was over we were in line for the metro and he was just running everywhere. then he stops and sees those big spotlights in the sky and says" umm.. those might be big fireflys!" then keeps on wizzing back and forth. we got back on the metro and 3 min later me anad chris look back and they are passed out across tyson and loris laps. big day but super fun. I loved evry minute of having them out here, and chris really enjoyed having the day off of work.

LUKE IS DARLING!!!! THAT SMILE IS ADORABLE!!
Looks like sooo much fun! I've had the same experience with American Girl Doll Catalogs! The problem is that I think they are every bit as cute and awesome as Jocelyn does! We just have to convince Dad that they are worth the CASH! Luke's face in that picture is soooo cute! So fun when they start smiling like that!
First of all Luke is sooooo cute!! and soooo big!! What a fun day! I'm so glad you got to see family for a little bit. I'm super jealous you guys all got to go to a Braves game! Even if you were cheering for the Twins.
