Grandma's visit

Grandma came to visit this week from Oregon and we have had a wonderful week doing things and visiting. We went to the apple orchard, the zoo, the Mall of America and the Science Museum. All of those places were new places for Shella May except the zoo. When we were at the apple orchard we went into a corn maze they had there and had fun getting lost. We even had to go up on the bridge to peek where we wanted to go. Of course the kids had to put there faces in every cut out also. We bought some apples and some cider and went home to enjoy some pies and other goodies we made.
We went to the zoo one day also. We saw every animal they had there and had a great day. We even went to the new play place they have at the zoo. The kids got to climb a mosquito and become a turtle family.

We also went to the mall, but I don't have any pictures. She loved looking all the cool rides even though we didn't go on any of them. We also went to the American Doll store and the Barbie store. There was so much to see and do. She had her first ice cream cone that grandpa bought her from Dairy Queen.
Yesterday we went to the Science Museum and I forgot my camera. She loved touching everything and playing with the microscopes. We could get three scientists out of these kids some day. We are glad she is having so much fun learning and seeing new things.

It must be wonderful to watch Shella May see and learn so many new things. It looks like she's having a blast!

Looks like you are enjoying the days of fall to the fullest. That is one thing I would have liked to have done was visit an apple orchard.
