OUR WEEKEND IN HIBBING

Cale and I spent last weekend up in Hibbing visiting family. It was quite a drive going up...Cale slept for about 30 minutes and was pretty restless the rest of the time. He just wanted to get out and run around so we had to make a few stops just so we both didn't lose our minds! It's really hard traveling without Jason---keeping Cale entertained in the car was quite an ordeal...I've never sung so hard or loud in my life and I don't think I've ever been so animated with silly hand motions---the things we do to get a laugh out of this one!!

But we did eventually make it to grandma and grandpa's and Cale couldnt have been more excited! We got a lot of stuff done in just a few days!
Feeding the geese was something new for Cale! He loved it! We went a few times (Grandma used up a lot of bread!), but it was worth it, seeing Cale's face light up when they all swarmed around the food. We feared for our lives only a few times...the seagulls were scanvengers! You can see our car in the distance...it's quite a ways to run there when you see 50 geese following you!!!

We headed over to the water fountain next to try and throw some pennies in and make a wish, but that dream ended rather quickly as we realized when we pulled up there was no more water in the fountain. They had drained the dang thing already...poor Cale staring into an empty fountain

Good job Grandma! Both Cale and I are in the picture, we're both looking, and neither one of our heads are cut off!!!! A miracle for those of you who know how well my mom takes pictures! Poor Corrine and Nana! They had to bribe Cale with a toy bus for him to like them! He was having nothing to do with them, until the toy bus came out! It took him awhile to warm up, but once he realized they brought him a present, he was so sweet!
Grandpa and Cale playing pool! Cale was getting really good at rolling the balls around on the table. Funny how grandpa doesn't care if Cale sits on the table!
We tried going to the park one morning but discovered that everything was too wet, considering it was only about 40 degrees and everthing was covered with dew! So the only thing open that early was, of course, Walmart! We headed there to look at toys of course! Cale wanted to show daddy what he wants for Christmas this year....the BARBIE car!!!!!!! Not the tractor right next to it....the BARBIE car! Couldn't even get him to sit in the tractor!
Before Cale and I headed back home to see daddy, we stopped at Caribou for some good coffee and a little snack! Thanks for a fun weekend grandma and grandpa! Love you!
