Onward to Minneapolis!!!

Hello, friends! 

Last week, on account of parent-teacher conferences (the kids are doing great in school, by the way), we had a 4 day weekend. We decided that the best way to spend that time was to head to Minneapolis to visit Megan's sister and her family. We hadn't been back to Minneapolis in a while (we're pretty sure that Megan was pregnant with Jonah when we last visited) so we were long past due.

Friends, when I tell you that we had a trip, we had a trip! Here are a few highlights: 

- Visiting with ministry partners, both on the way into Minneapolis, on our way our of Minneapolis, and even while we were in Minneapolis, while my sister-in-law's kids were still in school. Did we get photos with any of them? Of course not! We were having too much fun. =0). 

- Seeing some friends from college who live in the area. Did I get a photo of that one? You betcha! #GoBears 

- Visiting Minnesota's largest candy shop and the site of the world's largest jigsaw puzzle, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. 

- There was family fun too! We made dumplings together and the kids got to ride around the neighborhood, courtesy of my brother-in-law's one wheel. 

- Did I mention that Phoebe came with us? Did I mention that she got sick because she ate a bunch of stuff underneath our car seats while on the way there? Did I mention that we took a nap together and it was glorious?! Because all those things happened! 

- Of course, let's also mention that we got to visit Megan's old stomping grounds at Minnesota State. Her old dorm is now a parking lot, but the clock tower is still there! #GoMavs

- We also took some family photos, but you'll just have to wait for our Christmas card before you see those... =0). 

All in all, it was a great trip. Everyone had fun, everyone was well (enough) behaved, and it was good to see family. We'll be sure to head out there again before another 5 years passes. 

Have an excellent day!
