Family weekend

My entire family came to Minnesota last weekend for a joint family birthday party for Will and Lauren...and to have some fun! 

The guys golfed Friday and the girls swam (but I took no photos).  Saturday we headed out to Luke's moms lake house for a little fun.

 Then we started the birthday party.  Will requested a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cake. 

 And Lauren requested an Ariel cake.

 Sunday we headed to Valley Fair.  I hadn't been since I was a kid but it was basically the same. 

 She loved the rides, but was pretty limited to what she could actually ride.

 Lauren LOVED the ladybugs

 worst ride EVER...the balloons!

 and the whole family...so much fun! 

 Lauren finally warmed up to Grandpa as he was heading out the door...goodbye kisses

 and smiles

Thanks all for making the trip up to Minnesota to celebrate Will and Lauren.  We all had a blast!
