Women of Faith and Barnum and Bailey

Another crazy weekend has come and gone.  I drove up to Minneapolis to spend some time with my family there.   We had a great time Thursday night playing Apples to Apples and visiting.  

Friday morning we got up to hit the Mall of America.  We had a delicious lunch at Crave, did a little shopping, and spent most of our day trying to find different animals to feature in our video dance-off we had via iPhone with my nieces.  I'm starting to regret not buying the amazing tiger pants I found on clearance featured in our first video.    We stopped at Macy's and enjoyed some PinkBerry, and I got my mom a box of Frango mints, her childhood favorite!




Friday night we attended the evening session of Women of Faith and got to hear some great music and hear some interesting speakers.  After we finished, we went over to St. Paul Grill for the tradional 10 p.m. reservation with cocktails and appetizers.




Saturday morning we walked back over for another round of speakers.   Patsy Clairmont and Lisa Bevere had some great stories to tell.   Mercy Me put on a fabulous concert.



After the conference ended, we went off to meet my nieces and brother-in-law again for a nice dinner and relaxed the rest of the evening.



Sunday morning we got up early to meet Dave and the boys for the circus in Des Moines!   The boys loved it.   I was more than a little stressed once I realized how good our seats were.   After a while I forgot that we could potentially be trampled to death by an elephant and enjoyed the rest of the show.








After the circus, we grabbed lunch at Zombie Burger before we had to head home.   A great time was had by all!
