Family Time in Minnesota

We made it to the Twin Cities in time to participate in a great-nephew's baptism and a great-niece's four year old birthday party. It was fun because I have lots of family in Minnesota and this gave us the chance to see many family members! Everett cried through his baptism and Genevieve was overwhelmed with all the presents! It was a fun day.

My brother and I laugh a lot when we're together, and my sister-in-law is such a good grandmother. Linnea is my niece and has a son, Caedmon, so I got to see new members to the family!

 

Spent Monday at the Mall of America - you can't go to Minneapolis without going to the Mall of America - and then off to see more relatives for dinner. More laughing and reminicing. Tuesday was spent with another nephew and family. Then Thursday we went to the Minnesota State Fair. Very different from what we're used to! For one thing, almost all the food served at the fair is on a stick. Pizza on a stick (see below), alligator deep fat-fried on a stick, twinkie on a stick, buffalo on a stick, etc. etc. etc. They also have a birthing center, and we were lucky enough to see three lambs less than 30 mins. old. Then we went to the dairy pavillion and saw the butter sculpture. It was fascinating and different.

Minnesota was fun, but we're off to Door County (north of Green Bay, WI). My next blog will talk about that!!!
