Thanksgiving in Minneapolis 09

We were not able to go and visit family this year. But Dan's brother was able to fly up and spend a whole week with us. We REALLY enjoyed Mike's being home with us. It was an awesome week. On Thanksgiving day we drove to Minneapolis and stayed the night in a hotel with the largest indoor water park. We all had a blast that day in the water. The next day we drove across the street to the Mall of America...and on BLACK FRIDAY. This was pretty crazy and bold of of us to do. The mall was packed of crazed inpatient shoppers and the lines were ridiculously long. But it was a great day. It was fun to watch Dan and MIke go at the pranks and competitiveness and bonding all week. Halle loved having Uncle Mike here. She followed him everywhere. And she loved to lift up his shirt and show him where his belly was over and over and over again. We really really loved having Mike here over the break. It was sad having to take him back to catch his flight. Uncle Mike you are welcome to come and see us anytime!!!! We love you.
