MOA

Several members of the TeStrake clan came up last weekend to visit us. Matt, Kristi and Ava drove all the way from Kansas City (fun car ride) in order to meet Ani, and my parents, sister and niece drove up from Iowa as well. It was a great weekend! Although I'm not sure the boys, meaning Monte, my dad, and brother, enjoyed the MOA much. Good people-watching can only last a couple hours... and my 11-year-old niece Meggie is a nut about clothes shopping so she was in heaven while the rest of us were ready to leave!

Here's my 3-1/2-year-old niece Ava holding "Baby Ani". And also Meggie & Ava on one of the rides in Nickelodeon Land or whatever the amusement park in the mall is called now!
