Aunt Sarah's visit

My sister Sarah came to visit for a week and we had such a great time. She was so helpful with the kids and they loved being spoiled by their aunt. Here are a few photos of our week together.

Volunteering at Feed My Starving Children--what a great experience!

We dry pack meals for children all over the world who are in need of food and prepare it for shipment. 

The day we volunteered the food was going to Haiti. 

 Sarah played countless games of Candyland, Zooreka and Ticket to Ride with the kids (especially Grant during the day--that kid could play games non-stop and love it).

They would laugh so hard I couldn't believe it was Candyland they were playing--just having a good time together. (sorry for the blurry cell phone picture)

 Checking out the Mall of America

 Sarah painted Miya's nails, straightened Shayla's hair and helped me dye mine. No more gray--hoorah!!!

 Buying treats at K'nokes--the best local candy/ice cream shop around!

 Miya wasted no time on her candy necklace.

 Grant is LOVING soccer!

 So is Garrett. (Shayla, too, but I didn't get a picture)

 Hiking to Willow River Waterfall

 Eating fried cheese curds from Culver's--mouth-watering good

 Ultrasound!! It was so fun to have Sarah there. Dr. S was amazing and did great with our crew of 8. Sarah, Tyler and Miya correctly predicted a girl, winning candy bars as their prize.

I can't believe we are having a girl--i was so sure it was a boy!

At the St. Paul Cathedral--it feels like it's right out of Europe.

We also explored the Science Museum and had lots of good time to catch up and talk.

Thanks for coming out to visit, Sarah! We can't wait for your next visit.
