Minnesota

I have been a lot of places.  We grew up going to resorts in Mexico, Dominican Republic and Costa Rica.  We have traveled to Florida, California, Colorado, Arizona and more recently  New York and North Carolina. I have memories of family time in each of these locations.  But for me, moving away from my parents home in Minnesota to Iowa, made Minnesota a vacation destination too.  I always love our week vacation in Minnesota.  You can't beat daily boat rides, swims, walks, and plenty of ice cream! And you can't beat making memories with your kids in the same location I have memories of being a kid at.  My parents have moved out of my childhood home but it was a welcomed change that came with a lake view and a boat.  







I ran into an old high school friend and basketball teammate of mine, Jessica Donovan/Matheson, at the excelsior commons.  It is always fun to bump into old friends and catch up a moment.



First time tubing.  Leighton,McCabe , and Brooks were so apprehensive.  They didn't want be the first ones to go and it wasn't looking promising that they would go at all.  Immediately, Wynnlee literally jumped off the boat into the water with no fear at all and was the first one to go with daddy!  I will never forget that moment!
