Trevor and Mommy had a lot of time during their visit 'home' to see family and friends. We had a jam-packed schedule in order to fit in everything! One of our day trips had us going to Sara's cousin Katie's house. You may remember her cutie Max who is growing up way too fast!
Two of Katie's step-daughters were there too! It's always nice to see Cassie and Dani!
And no surprise here, but our little guy wanted no part of pictures. :( He'd lift the pillow up to see if a camera was nearby and if there was, he went back to hiding. What a stinker!!
Grandma Jeanne and her sister 'Double' loved getting Max to copy their sounds and faces!
And we broke out Trevor's new favorite book series to show Double and Cousin Anne. 'Can the pigeon ride the bus??' 'Noooooooooooo'
After Katie's house we ventured over to Jim and Annie's since it's so close by and for the boys to have one last time together. Sam showed Trevor how his Mommy makes him a cool waterslide!
Back at our home base at Grandma and Papa R's house in Owatonna we enjoyed lots of time outside, including a game of bocce ball. Trevor has quite an arm and could really throw those heavy balls no problem.
We also got in a few duck feedings. Trevor even had one duck take the bread right from his hand!
And we enjoyed quite a few yummy meals that Papa Steve grilled or Grandma Jeanne cooked. They most usually included fresh sweet corn that Trevor helped to peel!
On the Sunday of our Roslansky family getaway, before Brian had to fly back to AZ, we headed over to Jeff and Dawn's to hangout and have dinner! Trevor always enjoys hugs from his Uncle Jeff:
We also got to see Lauren in action selling yummy lemonade! She's quite the salesperson but once Trevor got there she wanted to play with him rather than sell lemonade so she shut down the stand for the day.
Which was probably smart given that Trevor was all about the cash register! Can you say sticky fingers? Just kidding!!
The cousins got in ample jumpy time together!
And Trevor got some solo jumping time in too. 'No more monkeys jumping on the bed' is what he's saying here....'one fell off and bumped his head'
Miss Leah enjoyed showing us the new house she got for her birthday!
Although Trevor didn't like sharing so much....this face is just priceless. He hugs on to whatever he wants with a death grip and just pouts!
Uncle Jeff and Lauren showed off their soccer skills for a bit! Maybe next time we'll get to see her play in a game! She's quite the scorer from what we hear!!
We tried to get a pic of all of the cousins together but grouchy pants Trevor wasn't having it. That's what we get when he just takes a 2 hour nap in the car. He really needs to nap in a bed in order to sleep well and be rested. So high maintenance ;)
2 days out of their time in MN Sara headed to the Cities and packed in many visits with friends. She felt like she could have used a cab driver but instead she was the cab driver!
What did Trevor do during these days? Hang out with Grandma and Papa and get spoiled! He requested cereal for lunch...and proceeded to eat 3 bowls!
Play his new favorite game 'Hi Ho Cheerio'
Play with the neighborhood kids on his 'big wheels.' Their Dad is a policeman and we heard Trevor's eyes really lit up when he came out in his uniform one day!
Call friends on the phone! He often picks up the phone and has pretend conversations with Sammy. If you're in the vicinity he'll put you on the phone with them too and pretty soon you are also 'talking' to Uncle Jim, Aunt Annie and even their dog Cody!
And eating lots and lots of popsicles. 3 in one day we believe?!?
To give you an idea of Sara's schedule when she was in the Cities those two days, here you go:
6:45am leave Owatonna
8:30am meet friend for breakfast in St. Louis Park
10:15 meet friend and her kiddos at her house in Maple Grove
11:45 meet friends/old co-workers for lunch in St. Louis Park
1:45 meet friend and kiddos in St. Paul
4:00 stop by old house to visit with new owners
4:30 happy hour with a friend
5:30 dinner with a friend
10:00 back in Owatonna
Whew!!! But it was worth every second of 'busyness' to see everyone! Here is Sara at lunch with two of her old co-workers from Target!
Her old manager was going to join too but her son ended up being sick so she couldn't make it. She wanted a belly shot so we sent her this and since we haven't taken one ourselves (sad given we would do it almost weekly with Trevor) we thought we'd post it here too. Here's baby girl at 24 weeks:
The other cool thing about the above picture is that one of Sara's Target mentees was also at Noodles that day so we got to catch up quick too!
As mentioned above, Sara stopped by the old house quick and got to meet the new owners and their 2 boys. It was kinda weird to be in the Cities without a home and then to see other people in 'your house' but why dwell on something in the past. The house is being loved by another family just as much as we loved it.
Home now is in AZ and Dada had some of Trevor's friends inside the door ready to greet Trevor and Sara when they got back on Friday, August 3. Trevor was overjoyed to see 'his toys' and we were glad to be back with Dada!
