Mankato

Last weekend we met Ryan's parents in Mankato.  As always, it is great to see them!  We have a normal routine which typically includes meeting at the mall so Madelyn can run around for a little bit.  She is very interested in the merry go round but I think she would be scared to death if we actually rode it.  I noticed that it went pretty fast - fast enough that it's not like we could just jump off if she started screaming.  I'm guessing she'll be ready to ride it in a few months.

Then we went to eat lunch.  Madelyn's at a tough age as we typically order her a kids meal but 9/10 times she barely eats it.....but I would feel terrible not ordering her something.  I know she wouldn't really like anything that we ordered so I wanted her to be able to eat.  I feel better knowing that she had the option to eat if she was hungry.  Most of the time she is too busy looking around the restaurant saying "HI" to anyone that walks by!

Then we went to Sibley Park.  It's cool because Madelyn is able to do more & more things every time we go there.  This trip I forgot our camera :( but did get a couple pictures on my phone.  She was more interested in the animals than she was the last time.  She liked walking around on the jungle gym but wasn't interested in going down the slide.

It was a fun day and I think everyone enjoyed it!  We always enjoy our time with Grandpa Kenny & Grandma Emily!

She is much braver than her mama would be!
