Halloween with the Skousens

We enjoyed stopping at my sister's place on our way to NC. It was a bonus that it was Halloween. Kahlan got tired of trick or treating pretty quick. She started yelling "no more houses, no more doors, no more candy." Crazy girl! Kahlan is a Fairy, Adam is a skeleton and Ian is a pumpkin.

Mall of America Aquarium

Before we left Minnesota we decided to visit the Mall of America Aquarium. We got to go with Hailey, Tamar and Soren. It was pretty cool but we all agreed that it w\as not really worth the money.

 Here's the group (Jake is taking the picture and Ian is asleep).

 Trying on Silly hats!

 Couldn't let Ian miss out even though he was asleep.

 Ian woke us for the second time around and enjoyed the fish, banging on the glass and standing with his cousin.

Day Trip to Duluth!

Jake never got to serve up north in Duluth while on his mission so we decided to take a day trip up there. 

Lake Superior 

 Lake Superior light house!

 All looking at the camera...success:)

 Kahlan touching the water that was ice cold.

 Gooseberry Falls

 Kahlan loves to take pictures of just her!

 Mommy/son time:)

 Saw this sign on our drive and had to take a picture!

A better Video of Ian moving around--Crazy kid!

Ian's favorite way to get around

He can cruise when he wants to. He arches his back so much.

Ian's army crawl

Not the most graceful but he makes it to his toys:)
