Highlights of our Minnesota Trip

I got to spend last week with my Minnesota grandkids! Yes they do live far away - but it was nice to see their new home and surroundings. Minnesota was very beautiful, their Ward was friendly and I got to meet lot of Summer's new friends. I can see why they love it there. We also got to take a little tour of the Mayo Clinic and hospitals where Paul now works. It was enormous and very impressive. The architecture and surroundings were gorgeous - you felt like you were in the lobby of a 4 star hotel rather than a hospital. Very cool!
But of course the highlight of the trip centered around spending time with Noah and Alex -
Noah petting the stingrays at the Minneapolis Aquarium
(He also pet some baby sharks - pretty fun!)

Alex loved it too . . . .

Noah showing off his tiger arms - hilarious!

Of course Grandparents can't resist getting fun stuff for thier grandkids-

Alex with her "Fancy Nancy"doll

very appropriate because Alex loves to be "fancy"

Noah loves sharks and anything to do with the ocean

Here we are with the kids in downtown Rochester
The week went all too fast and it was sadder than it has ever been before to say goodbye to Summer and the kids. It's only been a week and I miss them all already.
