Some Grand Rapids guests!

This past weekend, my brother and his lovely family came to visit me in Grand Rapids. We've become kind of accustomed to having them stay here - this is their third time and they are great guests! The first time, my college graduation brought them here... the second time, a business meeting for my brother, Dave, brought them here... and this last time, a coupon class for my sister-in-law, Laura, brought them here! Laura is a coupon queen - literally! She teaches coupon classes (Yes, a class! And it's so great! The secrets will save you hundreds or thousands - seriously. Find out more info here on her blog! Read it. Admission for the class supports a great cause as well!).

Anyways, Laura hosted a coupon class in Rockford (near Grand Rapids) this past Saturday, so of course we gladly welcomed the whole family and made another weekend of it! Here are a few photo highlights!

Thursday evening, after a wonderful dinner by Laura, we headed to Jersey Junction (yes, the second time in one week!) for some ice cream cones! Baby Bo LOVED his chocolate ice cream!

1) I love watching Bo try to eat his ice cream.
2) I LOVED the bokeh inside Jersey Junction!!

Helllllloooooo BLUE EYES! FYI: I did not specifically edit Bo's eyes in this next picture, they got the same overall "bump" as everything else!
Apparently his ice cream cone wasn't enough - good thing his dad shares well! :)

Friday afternoon was spent at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum - where I pretty much went picture-crazy... but what's new? This museum is SO fun - even for big kids :)

We all loved the bubbles - Bo wasn't quite sure about them at first, but then he got the hang of them!
Rachel is a Bubble-Pro!

Ok, this triangular mirror goodness was so fabulous - and by the look of Bo's face, he was absolutely mesmerized by it, too!

I cannot get over this next picture... Boaz looks like such a big boy... not my little 16-month-old nephew!!
Saturday was a mommy-filled day. I went to the West Michigan Mom's Sale with Laura in the morning where I took pictures, held the bags and learned all the ins-and-outs of mom-to-mom sales. Craziness! That afternoon was Laura's coupon class - I attended as her Vanna White (and to hear all her coupon secrets again!!). After Saturday, I think I can successfully run a household on a small budget :)

Are you sick of Bo, yet? Good... me neither. But here is one more for the road:
