Yes, another post about our trip to Minnesota. Now that we have our camera and I have downloaded every last picture and video, I have been diligently culling through the mountain of over 500 pictures to decide which ones to post. Digital cameras are wonderful in some sense, but they also make decisions very difficult.
We had a wonderful trip to Minnesota filled with plenty of hospitality, visits with lots of family and friends, some fun time in the snow and many "little lunches" as they say in Minnesota. It was nice to be able to see Rhonda and Aunt Rose from Greenbush, as well as Aunt Catherine, Uncle Jim and Aunt Jessie while we were there.
Alex had so much fun in the snow with his grandparents and of course enjoyed all of the animals that were around, whether it be the horses, the dogs or the birds which were everywhere. He frequently talks about his "buddy" Landen and has called him on the phone many times since we left Minnesota. As you can see, he enjoyed spending time with Great Grandma Grace too, who read stories to him and played with playdough with him, which is always a favorite activity. I make the playdough with the same recipe which Grandma used to make playdough for us when we were kids.
We made a quick trip to the farm in Graceton, which was nice, especially with the fresh snow. Alex was quite intrigued by the apples on the tree in the front yard. I have lots of good memories of the farm and just wanted to show the boys where all of those fun times happened.
Thanks to everyone for the hospitality while we were visiting. We had a fun time and hopefully we will be back again soon. It never seems that there is enough time to see everyone on the trips back, but hopefully next time we will be able to see everyone.
