News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
As vacation was winding down we made another trip to Arlington, Minnesota to visit family. Enjoy the pictures.
Our second week back we stuck close to home. That weekend Grandma Wiemann, Lea Ann, Nina, Sara, Paul and Bev all visited as well as Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs. We had some good food and a nice visit to the Fur Trading re-enactment at the nearby Forts Folle Avoine. Enjoy the pictures.
Happy New Year Everyone! We wish everyone a healthy and happy 2011. Today’s gallery is of our visit to Arlington, Minnesota to visit Grandma and Grandpa Wiemann. We stopped by the Mall of America a couple of days after Christmas (won’t make that mistake again) where we saw Yogi Bear in 3D (our first 3D movie in the theater). Nora was not overly impressed but the producers of the film clearly nailed the demographic that Kai is smack dab in the middle of. He couldn’t have enjoyed it more. After the movie we went to an overcrowded Build-a-Bear workshop where Kai and Nora blew their Christmas money. Enjoy the pictures!
A week after we arrived, Forts Folle Avoine held their annual Rendezvous where they reenact the fur trade from the early 1800’s. On that same weekend we a visit from Aunt Lea Ann with Cousin Nina and Cousin Sarah along with Uncle Paul and Bev. Both sets of Grandparents also attended and it was a real treat to have everyone together. Kai and Nora enjoyed having a full house and especially having some other kids around to play with. It was a great weekend!
I was in the grocery store in Webster the other day with Kai. As we were checking out he announced to the woman ringing up our groceries “I don’t have just two Grandma-Grandpas, I have two Grandmas and two Grandpas.” How lucky we were that both the Wiemanns and the Jacobs were able to visit over the Memorial Day weekend. Aunt Lea Ann and Cousin Nina also came for several days and Uncle Paul and Bev were able to stop by as well. The weather could not have been better!
Last week we took the Great Northern Railway pizza train out of Spooner, Wisconsin with Lea Ann, Nina and Grandma. It was a real treat for the kids (except Nora who isn’t old enough to appreciate the awesomeness of a train) and a fun excursion for the adults as well.
In other news we are putting the final touches on our packing since we fly home tomorrow. This afternoon we’ll get one last hurrah as Grandma and Grandpa watch Nora and Kai while Crystal and I do a dinner and movie (courtesy of Julie and Eric).
