Mother's Day 2011

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2735/5701431746_0518b108f6_z.jpgWe had an action-packed Mother's Day weekend, largely because I haven't gone back to work yet so we could actually make plans. We spent Saturday night in Bloomington with Pam, Fred, Tanya, Jeff, and the kids, because this morning we did the "Walk for the Cure" by the Mall of America.

Last night we had dinner with Matt's family at TGI Friday's.http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3560/5701430544_6cd1aeb54d_z.jpg

When we got there, the cousins were very excited to see each other.http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2200/5701429590_a2977dffba_z.jpghttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3002/5700860469_6e097da681_z.jpg

Matt and Karl think Led Zepplin is cool, so they made me take this picture while we waited for our table.http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2429/5700860787_a5637e3ee6_z.jpg

We all stayed at the same hotel, so after dinner it was swimming time!http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2587/5701431040_0369243ef5_z.jpg

And then it was the ever-popular bedtime! We tried to convince Pam and Fred to let the four grandkids sleep in the extra bed in their room, but they wouldn't do it. I don't see why not...http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2671/5701431418_1dec055edb_z.jpg

Karl insisted on writing his own "I'm walking in memory of..." tag.http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5143/5701434128_1a6fdd5957_z.jpg

After the cancer walk, we went to my parents' house to celebrate Mother's Day. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2306/5701435034_a3a2035067_z.jpg

Laura and Karl had fun with the Lundgren cousins: Luke, Laura, Karl, Colin, Damon, and Justinhttp://farm6.static.flickr.com/5101/5700866259_11269b5563_z.jpg

It was a wonderful weekend. Now it's bedtime. I'm going to snuggle up with my new iPad...
