Minnesota trip....

I've been sorting through pictures today & trying to get things organized & caught up so I'm just now posting about our Minnesota trip. My kids & I went with my parents to a cousin's wedding several weeks ago & had a great time. Our longest day in the car on the way up there was 12 hours & I couldn't of asked for better car traveling out of the kids. No crying or meltdowns the entire drive. Thanks to Grandma for all the "surprises" for the kids along the way too.....I know that helped the car ride. The weather was awesome as it didn't get above 80 the entire time we were there & we enjoyed campfires at the lake with a sweatshirt on at night! We got to see lots of family & everyone got to meet Rosson & see Jaylen again (most hadn't seen her since she was 1). Jaylen got to play with her cousins & I loved watching her play. I grew up going up to Minnesota every summer & playing on the same lake shore with my cousins so it was pretty surreal to see her playing with my cousin's children......the next generation. All in all, it was a great trip but we did miss Gavan quite a bit since he stayed home to work.

The kids & I on our dock at Potato Lake....so beautiful up there.
Grandma bought them their cute hats....they Beach Dude & Beach Princess from Minnesota on them.
Enjoying the lake even if it was a little chilly.

Despite the cold water, she still ended up in only her pulll-up....

Jaylen got to "ride" (sit on) my cousin Tonya's horse & thought it was pretty fun. She kept
wanting to ride her colt (that's what she is pointing at) but settled for the nice, calm one.

Maida ( my cousin Kara's 3 year old) & Jaylen (2 1/2).......they had some fun times. Reminded me a lot of Kara & I playing together when we were little girls!
