Minnesota the Second

We made a second weekend trip to Minnesota to visit Pa & Grandma just 3 weeks after our first trip. The timing worked with Chris' work schedule, his Dad's, Pa & Grandma's, and Uncle Tim's schedules. Unfortunately, his cousin Jenny and her family, and Aunt Diane were unable to join us this time. We still managed to have a great time and ate way too much good food!

The highlights of the trip included lots of fishing, including a keeper for Steven, more rounds of Hand and Foot, our favorite card game, tons of good food, me getting to come along on a boat ride, and some nice relaxing. It was fun having Grandpa Mike along for the ride AND it was the first big trip we've taken in our Honda Pilot.

Unfortunately, this is one of the only shots I got
of Grandpa Mike. I think I was too busy playing
cards, and not busy enough taking pictures!
Sorry, Grandpa Mike!

Uncle Tim left behind a special
reminder of Steven's fish. Look
closely at the shepherd's hook.

P.S. Apparently, I did not write a post about our first trip to Minnesota. I will have to rectify that, but it will look odd posted after the second one. I'm kind of behind, apparently!
