first


First trip without Siri
First trip to visit Rachel
First time to Minneapolis
First time playing Rockband
First time eating Ski Queen cheese

It was awesome.

I left Friday AM for Minneapolis, the home of Rachel and Wade. Mark left that afternoon for Montana to shoot a wedding.

It was glorious!


Laying by the pool. Going to Julie&Julia. Trying to sleep in. Running along the Mississippi. Enjoying the absolutely beautiful abode of Rachel and Wade, seriously so nice. Mill City Farmers Market. Drinking lots of juice. Happy Birthday Wade. Ikea. Temple. Science Museum. Mall of America - Insane. Loved church at the Cedar Lake ward.








Mark came Sunday night after his wedding in Minneapolis. Yes!

Played Rockband. Ate Rachel's homemade apple pie. Tried again to sleep in. Walked around downtown. More soaking in the sun. This American Life. Flight of the Conchords. Going to dinner. Good times with great friends.



Crazy how 5 days seemed like 2 weeks since I'd seen Siri. It was so nice to take a break from diapers, but we're so happy to be back.

We are so lucky to...have friends, have friends in Minneapolis, for Mark's photography talent, for his talent to take him all over the place, and our families to help us take this trip! Thanks be to Sandy, Mom, Jenn, Liz for watching our precious most beautiful daughter.

I miss you already my friend! I can't believe we fit all this loveliness into one trip! So glad you could come and relax and play in the cities with us for a few days. Thanks to the babysitters!

(Also how do I manage to look a little crazy in all these pics;)

You're up next Katie!;)
Love!
