MN Trip, Part 1

So, the first few days of our trip were spent in Fargo/Moorhead hanging with Mel, Britt and Odin! It was awesome to see their home and to see how big Odin has gotten in the past year.

Maya was concerned that Odin wouldn't have any toys to play with. Boy was she wrong! The adventures these two had together were fabulous!

First there was t-ball! Odin is a natural and Maya was not to be outdone...she was working to figure it all out. Little does she know that we have had a ball, glove and bat in the closet since she went to the Ems game with her school but with all our vacationing we haven't gotten it out. Perhaps this weekend!



Then off to the bath. I think Maya freaks Odin out a little bit...as you can see in this picture. He couldn't understand why Maya let me wash her hair under the faucet. Definitely part alien! :)


There were lots of bikes to ride. Maya burned the wheels off of most of them. We had a hard time making her understand you can't just ride the bike 12 houses down the sidewalk! (Yes, that really did happen.) Odin was a trooper and shared his toys with Maya!


Fin found lots of time to snuggle and snooze. The weekend in F/M was the start of her smiling habit which just continued to flourish over the course of our vacation. Here she is snuggling in dad's arms and looking perfect!


We took a trip to Concordia to show Danny our old stomping grounds. Here is the fam sitting outside of the theatre. Ah, many ciga...er, I mean memories were shared on those benches! When we got to Concordia Maya demanded that she get her suitcase/backpack out of the trunk to take with her. She beelined from the administration building across campus, under the bell tower and right to the theatre with little to no guidance. I guess we might have a future Cobber theatre folk in our house!


It was great to see the McThors and hang out. It was equally sad to say goodbye. If only we could live around the corner. Thanks again guys...you are fabulous!

On Monday (9/8)we drove down to Owatonna to begin a new set of adventures.
