family, friends, and the beginning of april.

We had a great weekend up north last weekend visiting my parents. The kids love staying with grandpa and grandma! We also got to see my grandparents, which was great.
On Saturday, we took the kids to the Northern Trackers Railroad Club in Crosslake. This place is adorable and we can't wait to go back! This model train museum is run by 40 members and is very impressive. It's worth the trip if you are in the area! In the summer the museum has an outdoor track and a garden. And before you leave each child is given a coloring book and sheet of stickers. :)

You are not allowed to touch the trains, but the sets are interactive. There are many buttons you can press that do different things, like sound the horn, turn on lights, or move people.

we always have a tired little boy when we spend a weekend up north.

Matt and the kids left Sunday night, but I stayed in town for two more days to stay with my mom and visit my newest cousin. :)

This is my cousin Rob's new baby, Navy. Isn't he the sweetest? I couldn't stop staring at him.

Navy has the cutest curly mohawk.

It was so great catching up with Shawna and Antje (Navy's mom).

so snuggly. 

Also, if you didn't know, April is autism awareness month. National autism awareness day is today, April 2nd.

Hope you all are having a great week!
