We spent a few days with our amazing friends (whom we met in Ohio and now live in Minneapolis), Paul and Lonna Bohlsen. Our kids became the best of friends as well while living in Ohio, so it's always so much fun to see each other and get together! I mean, even Reid still calls Lance "his brother"! Ha!! SO SWEET! Our other great friend, Lori Matlack, had also moved up north to Crookston, Minnesota, so she brought her girls and they came down to stay and see us a couple of days as well - how did I get so lucky?!! We had so much fun all hanging out together - treasured memories I will never forget! It was REALLY hard for even our kids to leave!
We had a girls day out and took a visit to the Mall Of America (of course) and ate at the Rainforest Cafe - the girls all loved it!
Jessica, Tatum, Sarah, Grace, and Kristin
Lonna, Lori, me (thanks, Grace, for taking the picture!)
Next stop - AMERICAN GIRL store!!!! This was Grace's first time there and boy was it fun - I was even like a kid in a candy store!! SO CUTE! American Girl started right after I "moved out of that stage/age", so it's all new and fun for me, too! (Yes, I'm that old!) We love everything American Girl!
The girls enjoyed watching someone's doll get her hair done at the beauty salon.
Sarah and Grace with their purchases!
Can't have summer without some swimming! We went to their neighborhood pool with everyone (including Lon and Carrie Freeman and their kids) - friends from college AND Ohio, who now live on the same street as Paul and Lonna!!! Such a small world!!
They made their own slushies after some swimming - great idea, Lonna!
One night, all the adults got to watch an awesome performance put on by all the kids. There was singing, guitars, drums, everything!!!
They even had a spotlight man, Reid, who took his job VERY seriously!!! CUTEST THING EVER!!!
Girls also enjoyed Tatum's box of fun makeup! Even little Jessica was in on it - love it!!! TOO CUTE! Thanks for sharing, Tatum!
