Celine Dion in Minnesota! Sam's Basketball Tourney!

Mommy had a wonderful weekend getaway to Minnesota for the Celine Dion concert and the annual Kelly gathering!  Quite the jet-setter flying in on Friday morning and flying out Sunday evening!  It was really nice to not do the 9 hour drive ;). Friday morning was spent having an amazing (and huge) breakfast at The Original Pancake House with Mama and shopping til we dropped!  We got to the hotel where everyone was staying with enough time to change and get on the light rail to downtown for the big Celine Dion concert!  

We had dinner at Crave before the concert!
Got to celebrate Mary Lou's birthday!


Before we knew it, it was concert time!

What an amazing show!!!!  She sang all the oldies but goodies and a few of her new songs.  Katie, Anne and Sara belted them all out.  Sara even lost her voice and hurt her jaw!!! LOL
The guys in front of us were doing the same!  They knew every word!
The light rail on the way back to the hotel after the concert didn't go as planned and we ended up just Ubering and it worked out!
We got up bright and early to see Sam's basketball tournament!  We got there a few minutes late and Sara will never forget the smile Sam gave her when he saw her there!  He's quite the baller - he's fun to watch!!


After the first win - which was a close one - Sam ran right over to Sara and gave her a big 'ole hug and thanked her for coming!  She will never forget that either!  WOW!!!!  All the hearts!!!
One more basketball game, then some shopping then it was time for happy hour and family dinner!!

It also made Sara's day when Sam and Elena insisted that she sit between them for dinner!!
There were two little ones at dinner and Sara couldn't get enough of them!  She misses that fun age!

Sunday brought about an early basketball game.  Another close one - but they WON!!!!!!  Won the whole tournament!!!  Sam was again excited about having Auntie Sara there.  Heart full.  
What a player!  What a team!!  Sara was so glad to be able to see him play and win!!!!!  Proud Auntie!!



After that we had a late breakfast at the hotel, did some shopping and then hung out at Jim and Annie's for a bit before Nana brought Sara to the airport.  
What an amazing 60 hours!  So thankful to be able to do that.  Thanks Mom and Dad for the memories!  XOXO
