Valentine's Weekend at the Cabin

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's weekend. We did! We were at the cabin with Nanny and Papa. The weather was great and we spent a lot of time outdoors.
Friday on the way up we had a crazy idea to pull into the Best Buy in Brainerd and see if they happened to have a Wii. Well, they did, so we bought one. We pretty much spent every free minute playing it this weekend. And guess who happened to be really good at it? My mom! She was an amazing bowler. She even beat my dad, Scott and I a few times. So that was a fun way to start the weekend off.

Saturday morning we celebrated Valentine's Day with everyone and of course Colin got a few gifts. My parents gave him a new pair of Speed McQueen crocks which he literally slept in Saturday night. He loves them! I'm sure they will be the only thing he will want to wear in Arizona in a few weeks.

We gave Colin a robot that he is having so much fun playing with.

Here are the crocks!



After our little party we all got bundled up and went into Nisswa for the Nisswa Days parade. It was a lot of fun. Where else do you get to go to a parade in the middle of winter except in MN!

Ice fishing on wheels!

The Nisswa Loon

And Colin's favorite- the John Deere groomer!

Saturday night Scott and I had a date night! It was wonderful. We went out for a nice relaxing dinner, just the two of us. Colin stayed with Nanny and Papa and of course he had a great time too!


Sunday morning after breakfast we all got our winter wear on an headed outside for a morning of playing outside. Colin went sledding about 100 times down the hill. Daddy thought he was ready for the big hill, which made me a little nervous, but of course Colin loved it and wanted to keep going down it. After sledding we took Colin for a sled ride on the lake out to the island and walked around. The weather was just beautiful and we all had a good time.


And of course, we can't forget Buster. He too was exhausted. He and Charlie (my parents dog) ran and ran and ran the whole 2 hours we were outside.




After our playtime outside we headed inside and packed up to come home. We obviously exhausted Colin outside because he slept the whole ride home.
We had a great family weekend!

Okay. Your mom playing the Wii is something that I HAVE to see at some point. Cracks me up.

Wow, sounds like you guys had an awesome weekend!! Much better than ours...Chad was in bed sick all weekend so I was losing my mind trying to keep the kids entertained. Nothing says "I love you" more than that, huh? :)

We'll have to do a Wii night sometime...or we've got Guitar Hero for PS2 thanks to a generous family from Chad's classroom who gave him a whopper giftcard for Christmas!!
