A Stay-Cation: Day 3

On Day 3, we went to my brother's pool and just relaxed. 

Who doesn't love relaxing by the pool and enjoying the sun?!?

That night my Dad brought the Salmonson Five to the Twins game. 

I was officially jealous...I haven't been to the new stadium yet and I'm dying to go!!!! :)

A Stay-Cation: Day 2

Day 2 of my cousins visit was 4th of July!!!! 

We decided that after our long day at Valley Fair that we would just take it easy and hang out around our house.  And by taking it easy, I mean the boys golfed, we brought the kids to a parade, played in the pool, had a BBQ for 25 and then managed to stay up for the fireworks...barely :)

A Stay-Cation: Day 1

As I mentioned previously, my cousin Derek and his family came to stay with us at the beginning of July. They came for a whole week and I decided that I needed my own little stay-cation while they were here.  We had a wonderful time filled with lots of fun and laughter.  I might have been made fun of for my "Menu" and "Schedule of Events", but that was the only way this Momma can stay organize and take care of my new household of 9 :)

On Day 1, we decided that a trip to Valley Fair was necessary.  When we were little, it was our absolute favorite place to go.   My cousin Derek even remembers going when he was younger.  All of the kids, young and old, had a blast.  I didn't take too many pictures, but that's only because I was busy having fun :)
