A Daily Dose of Crazy: FRIENDS

Visiting friends is always a favorite activity when we're back in MN on the farm. We were pretty darn excited to be able to go up to Minneapolis AND Omaha this summer. Although it was a lot of driving, it was WELL worth it.

When I see this boy I find impossible to not hug to hug the bajeebers out of him. Chris just makes me smile.

Doing some serious climbing and adventuring.

This is one of GAZILLION things I love about T. She's all about getting in there with the kids and playing WITH them instead of being that mom who just sits on the sidelines.

I really can't find adequate words for this picture.

Nat was reminded what he DIDN'T like about MN. One day it's 75 and sunny and then next day it's 50 and windy. My poor Kentucky kids were so cold. Good thing the Tveitbakks are all about taking advantage of the weather. We used that wind to fly a kite. Myles was so excited.

Here is a moment I'm SOOO excited happened. My sweet friend Beth and I taught at STMA together and there is NO ONE like her. She and I have that friendship where we can not talk for months and then just pick right back up where we were. Between us we now have 10 kids!!!! She has 6 and we have 4. Her triplets and Myles were the same age and I was able to hang out with them a lot when I'd quit teaching. It was some crazy fun. It was just so awesome to get all our kids together again. I miss her SOOO much and wish SOOOOO badly we lived closer. She truly is one of the few people who "gets' my brand of crazy. A lot of people just deal with it, she gets it!!!

Beth and I with some of our kiddos. She has two more than pictured.

Always time for Gator fun.

Omaha was next on our list. We had so much fun visiting my Ralston crew. Christy threw a great get together with most of the original crew. It makes me smile every time to see how far we have come from since out first years of teaching when we were fresh out of college and with no children. Get-togethers were quiet different then.:-)

One awesome activity we did was the Lincoln Children's museum. It was hands down the BEST children's museum I have ever been to. It was PERFECT for the age our little crew was at. I really can't brag on it enough. We will be going back there again FOR SURE!!
