Cousin Time at MOA

Well it's spring break and we have been enjoying time with the Beltman's , Jennifer and Mom. Doyle and kids (Jonathan, Hannah, Jennifer and Joshua) arrived on Monday and Mom and Susie flew into Minneapolis from Anne's on Tuesday night.
Today (Thursday) we went to the Mall of America. The kids took in some rides and we enjoyed watching them. We learned that Jennifer has an adventuresome spirit -she loves roller coasters - the faster and scarier the better :0)! Her smile and excitement were contagious. Hopefully Doyle has a few good pictures to share since our ride pictures aren't too clear. After a morning of rides we ate lunch together and hit lego land. The Beltman's and Mom plus Justin headed back to Iowa around 2:30 and the girls stayed with us. We left MOA at about 4:00.

Rachelle and Emily are on choir trip to NY city this week. They left Tuesday morning and will return Sunday afternoon. So far they've been to Ellis Island, Liberty Island, Hard Rock Cafe, Starlight diner, the TODAY show/ Rockefeller Ceneter, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and more....hopefully they'll give you an update when they get back.
We're looking forward to heading to Des moines/Pella with Silent Messengers at the end of the month. Hope you all have a great week. ~Sylvia

Great minds think alike! Imagine posting our day at the same time. I like the different view points of the same day. It is like the different accounts of Matthew and Luke in the Bible. We had a great time! See you Sat. Enjoy the time with the girls. - Susie
