MN Visit to meet Cullan last weekend

Will and I drove back to Minnesota for some visits with family and friends.  We got to meet sweet baby Cullen our new nephew born on July 13th, though I almost had to wrestle him from my father who was trying to keep him from me.  I got some much needed baby holding time with Cullen and also Brittyn (Chandra's little girl).  So I guess you could say I filled up my baby tank for a little while. 

William and I didn't get into town until 10pm and to bed till 11pm (and William was awake the whole trip out to MN).  We had interesting car conversations about how when the sun goes to sleep the trees can't see.  And looked for fog that is white and a cloud on the ground.  I was also informed that when William is as tall as Daddy he will help me get things down from high up places.  All good things to know :)

We had fun checking out Brylee's little girl toys and especially liked her fancy baby buggy.  And surprisingly Chandra and I got a nice chance to talk while the kiddos played.  We had fun with Grandma Mc at the park and looking in their garden for beans and ripe tomatoes.  Grandma also insisted that they play with water cups, so out came the hose, buckets and cups.

Saturday we had great fun playing/running with his cousins Declan, and Keegan at the zoo and at their house for dinner.  Dan, Brea and family recently moved and they found a really nice house with a great yard and pool for the boys.  I think the three boys ran for a good hour non-stop from animal to animal.

The three found something secret in the bear cave that they checked out together.  I think William later told me it was a snake.

 Grandma Mc did a great job entertaining and keeping safe three speedy boys in the afternoon before dinner.

Pictures of little Cullan chilling.  He seemed pretty immune to the noise, only startled if shouting happened near by.  He took a good bottle for me, let out some toots and a burp and went back to sleeping.
