Dear friends come to visit!!

We were so so lucky to have a visit from Sara and Joe and their cute girls Libby and Jenna. We had fun showing them some of our favorite places in the area. We had fun going to Stillwater and got sucked into a little dress shop where all the girls walked out with a new skirt. Even little Jane seemed to think she needed one and had fun picking it out. The workers in the store took time to show us all the different ways we could wear our new finds!

After we were all dressed in our new outfits we took a stroll along the St. Croix river where the kids watched the bridge go up and down and enjoyed waving to the people on the boat passing by. We of course couldn't be in stillwater without making a stop at our favorite ice cream shop - Nelsons.

I couldn't resist taking this picture. It's just like old times. On several occasions when we lived in Indiana Sara would be so willing to let us join her in her car for different outings. This is how it was several years back but now the kids seem so big and grown up!

We had fun going to Lake Elmo beach. The kids had fun swimming and playing in the sand

After a day at the beach we took off to Minihaha Falls once the guys were done with work. Jane fell asleep in Sara's car. And of course sara is just always so so sweet with our kids!

We had to pull up the skirt so it wouldn't get completely wet!

On our last day together we went to Willow State Park and had fun hiking around the waterfalls. Our family loves to go here.

Thanks to the Soelbergs for making the effort to come visit! We had so much fun!!! This is really one of the nicest families you will ever meet! We are so happy to have them as friends! They are the best!
