Minnesota

We had a great time in Minnesota. The girls were wonderful for the 14 hour car trip each way. Thank god for DVD players! The girls enjoyed staying at the funtel in Lincoln Nebraska both on the way there and back. It was so much fun for them to run up and down the halls screaming. The hotel also had an indoor pool which was great to wear the girls out before bedtime.

We kept extremely busy while in Minnesota. The Schmidts were great hosts and we throughly enjoyed staying at their house and their cabin. At the lake the fishing was amazing and the girls loved the boat. Ava got her first taste of tubing and jetskiing and loved them both. Molly tried jetskiing and hated it! You could hear her screams from the dock. We celebrated Ava's birthday at the lake too. This year was all about princesses. She had a princess cake, got princess cards, and tons of princess dolls.
The Mall of America was amazing. We spent one day riding the rides and went back the next day for the Aquarium. Although we kept very busy, it was fun just hanging out with the family and swimming in the Schmidts pool too!

Our vacation ended with a wonderful 50th Anniversary Party for Greg and Nancy. It great to see and meet long distance relatives.

It was a great vacation and the time flew by. Here are some pictures on a slideshow!!
