A fun trip...

Although we were in MN for 2 weeks we still scarcely fit in everything we wanted to do and everyone we wanted to see. However, the important things were there. Ella and Grandma made cupcakes together (and Ella got to lick all the spoons, what a nice Grandma!).


The Boys
Ella liked to play with the boys, Conrad and Nolan. Here they are being pulled around in the wagon by Grandma while the two moms (Renee and Deirdre) got to sit in the shade and catch up. Not a bad day!


The Cabin
We went up to a cabin for a weekend with Spook (known as Soup now, thanks to Ella), Kait and Erik (oddly enough, she calls him Enna!). The trip was a blast.


Eating s'mores hot off the campfire.


Out in the boat with Kait and Mommy (while the boys did all the work in the front of the boat!).


This photos kind of encapsulates the trip - Ella making goo-goo eyes at Erik and Erik happily ahnging out with her. Ella LOVED being around so much family all the time. She was very happy and often times quite entertaining.


Conrad, Nolan and Ella on the choo-choo at the zoo.

Saying Goodby to Soup...in the parking lot in Iowa
From here he headed back to school at Virginia Tech and he is quite happy to be back there. But we loved getting to see so much of him and we missed him.
