Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

We went on vacation and spent one week in MN and one week in MT. This picture was taken at the airport while we were waiting for our flight to MN.

Spencer really enjoyed playing with all of Erik's old toys.

We went to the MN Zoo and rode on the monorail rather than walking in the bitter cold to see all the animals.

We also went to the Mall of America and let the kids go on a bunch of the rides.

Emmy was having so much fun on all the rides... little did we know that in a couple hours we would be at the Doctor's office getting a prescription for her ear infection. She told me that her ear hurt but she still wanted to stay and play. We ended up cutting this outing short against her will.

Spencer went to the Dr. the very next day and we discovered that he also had an ear infection. I wasn't sure what was going on with them at first because they were playing as usual only a little grumpier. Very tough kids and hardly complained at all. We never once had to get up with them at night and they seemed to sleep quite soundly.

Valentine's Day we got up and gave the kids some goodies. Emmy was happy that we let her eat chocolate in the morning.

Here is Emmy telling everyone all about our family. I was at the Doctor's office with Spencer at the time, but I was told that she had the floor for about 45 minutes. We have no secrets now!

Some much needed outside time in the snow

Oh, baby it's cold outside!

Here's Spencer taking a little break.

After a week in MN we took the 11:00 p.m. train to ND. We got a sleeper so we could all sleep until we got there. After we arrived in Williston the next morning, we had about an hour drive to Sidney, MT. I'll post those pictures soon, as well as a few more from MN that blogger won't let me post now for some reason!
