We had a great time at Granny Turners. She set up Granny's boot camp in the basement for our boys and their cousins, Clint and Tyler. They had a ball. The weather was pretty awful and Jonah's allergies to the cats were pretty bad but we still enjoyed long walks, good talks, a few games of Quiddler, great food including Granny's blueberry cheesecake and Great Gran Brisson's rhubarb pie. Yum! The wedding the beautiful and Sara and Jonathon looked so happy. It was really great to see so many memebers of the Brisson clan- we even got a picture with a LOT of us there! Later that week, we took a freezing dip into lake Wabegoon (so cold I couldn't form words), enjoyed some kayaking and a great meal by Suzie and Rod. One of my favorite moments was when all the kids were rocking out to "Eye of the Tiger" on Noah and Olexa's Rock Band game. They were singing like they meant it.
We drove back to Minneapolis and stayed there for 3 days, catching up with old friends. Jonah was reunited with his 4 Kinder/1st grade buddies from Groveland. It was so fun to see how big all the kids have gotten. I LOVED seeing the hydrangeas on Vine Hill Road- absolutely amazing! We hung out at Wekota beach for an afternoon and spent a day at the Thomas' where of course we were fed well and had lots of laughs. It was good to get back to our own beds and out of a suitcase but dang- we miss our friends/family in the North.
