Lucky us - the Augspurger's came for a visit! On Thursday, July 24th, the Augspurger family rolled into Apple Valley around 5pm. It was the first time for me to meet Charlie and as soon as he came out of his car seat, he smiled at me and was just fine with me holding him! He is the most easy going baby and I'm so happy for Brian & Steph - they really lucked out with Charlie!
Friday morning it was raining when we all woke up but it stopped in time for us to head to Minnehaha Falls for a short walk. With all the rain we've had, the falls and the creek were running fast - there were only a few places where Liv could dip in her feet. We had lunch at Sea Salt and then the guys took the kids back to our house. Stephanie and I headed out for some shopping. By the time we got back to the house, the kids were awake and it was time to head out for dinner - Punch Pizza.
Saturday morning the boys headed over to Wisconsin for some gun range time while Steph and I took the kids to the MN Zoo. Steph was my good luck charm - we saw several animals that normally hide during daylight hours. The Siberian tiger was even out wading in some water and playing with a log - that was the first time I'd ever even glimpsed that animal out in the open, much less playing! The weather was beautiful later in the afternoon/evening so while we sat out on the patio, the kids played in Liv's baby pool. Olivia really liked Charlie but I think she mostly liked bossing around the adults when we were watching him.

Sunday morning came too quickly and before we knew it, the Augspurger's were loaded up and hitting the road again. We had such a great visit and we hope we can do it again soon! Thanks again, Brian and Steph, for making the drive up here and spending a weekend with us!!!
