Grandma & Grandpa Stott come to visit

This past week my parents were able to come and visit from Utah. It is always nice to have my Mom come and take over the house. She cooks, cleans, gardens and plays Candy Land over and over. I always love the break from being mom when my mom comes to visit. Dad always worries that she is taking over too much, but Doug is thinking about having her come out more often to get this house is order. I guess this pregnancy is starting to wear on Doug a little. Only 12 more weeks to go...AHHHH. Then I will be back to normal...wishful thinking.
Anyway, while they were here we did a little sightseeing.

We went to Fort Snelling in St. Paul which was once the furthest outpost of America in the 1820’s. Today it helps to tell the story of Minnesota from 1820 until it closed in 1946. Andrew and Doug were able to learn how to follow the soldiers and march.

Here Andrew is being enlisted in the army. The guy there said the one requirement for Andrew was that he had to have his two front teeth so he could rip open the gun powder to put in the gun.

This is on top of the fort looking over into St Paul. Karen, here is my one and only prego picture.

We went to a beautiful flower garden.

This is at a park in Stillwater called, surprise-surprise, Teddy Bear Park. We had a lot of fun there. Jacob had become a mama's boys that day and wouldn't get in the picture.
