Far Go

We sure did have far to go to get to Fargo this past weekend to see Annie, Matt and Owen. I do not miss that drive! It seemed to go so much more quicker when I was by myself driving up there to see Brian for a weekend! The girls were pretty good travelers. For about 2 hrs it was quiet and then of course there was "are we almost there yet?" "how many more blocks til Annie's house" (we were in Fergus Falls at that point) "how many more minutes?", etc.. You get the point. :) Once we finally arrived all was well and the girls' fruit snack high kicked in. Owen didn't know what hit him!! Neither did Annie! :) On Friday night we ate pizza and hung out and the kids played and us girls had a wonderful margarita. On Saturday we took the kids to Scheels to ride the ferris wheel and wait for Matt to get back from Grand Rapids. Natalie and Owen napped and Annie, Caitlin and I window shopped downtown and escaped a very foolish last minute run to miss the train while Brian, Rachel, Emily and Matt played and waited for the little ones to wake. Then we all met up at Island Park and competed in an obstacle course. Brian was the winner! The big show off! Then it started raining and we made a beeline to the car and headed back. The Salfer van took a detour and drove around campus reminising. Annie made awesome lasagna with Buffalo meat-the girls didn't even notice! When the rain stopped we headed out to walk around their neighborhood and let the kids run off some steam before bed. We enjoyed another margarita, (my new favorite drink) watched the Twins game and called it a night. Sunday we went to church at the Newman Center on campus and then back to Annie and Matts for brunch. It was a great weekend to catch up with the Lindbo's. If we could just get them to move a little closer!!!!! :) Thanks for the wonderful hospitality Annie!
