Hansen Family Homepage: Another Family Filled Weekend

We are feeling very spoiled with all of the family visits! The past two weekends have been wonderful and family filled! We started our stretch of "family fun" weekends with Luke's dad and stepmom, and this past weekend Luke's mom and stepdad came to visit (my mom is coming this weekend! WOW craziness!) Grandma and Grandpa Gunderson were so gracious to make the drive out to Sioux Falls to visit us for the weekend. We were able to see them a few weeks ago at Luke's cousin's wedding, but it was such a short visit and Jameson wasn't able to get much Grandma and Grandpa time.

It's always a great time when we get together with Jean and Mark (Gundy), but this past weekend was even more special because we were able to relax, not be rushed and enjoy each others company! We were able to get some much needed one on one time with both Jean and Mark, and of course, Jameson was spoiled with love the entire weekend!

Grandma and Grandpa Gunderson arrived Friday evening. We decided to head to dinner right when they arrived so we could get back home and put Jameson to bed at a decent time. We started our Saturday morning with a world famous "Gundy Breakfast" and boy was it delicious!!!! (Gundy made the bacon on the grill so it wouldn't over power the house) After we filled our bellies with all of the delicious food, we decided to take Gundy and Jean out and about and show them a little of Sioux Falls. We bummed around the mall for a bit and then tried to head downtown for lunch.

**Quick side note** If you are not familiar with the Sioux Falls area, the weekends here are insane! The parking lots are always packed, you will always have to wait to get a table at a restaurant and don't try to turn in or out of the Target parking lot! All of the surrounding areas head this way on the weekend to do their shopping and find entertainment. Those that know me well, know I don't mind crowds, but even I get cranky and try my hardest to stay off the roads on a Saturday afternoon.

So needless to say, after our adventure downtown (the 7 mile trip took us almost 35 minutes!) we decided to just pick up some lunch and head back to our place. I have to say, I am really thankful we did that because we were able to take our time to eat and chat AND Jameson was able to take a nap in his own bed.

Like always, our time with Jean and Mark was WONDERFUL! We can't say thank you enough for everything Grandma and Grandpa Gunderson! We love you tons!
