Minnesota Trip, Day 3: Time with Friends and Family

We spent our third day catching up with family and friends. To start things off we hung out with Uncle Steve before heading over to Wisconsin to visit with friends.

Uncle Steve and Abby in deep conversation.

Kate just loves babies and wanted to help with Abby whenever she could.

The kids enjoying some laughing time with Uncle Steve.

My parent's good friends (who also happen to be my brother's god parents) have a beautiful piece of property in Wisconsin. We made to drive to their home and had a great time letting the kids run free.

The first priority was checking out Ms. Nancy's piano.

Kate and Emma running circles around one of Nancy's gardens.

Freedom!

Mr. Rick made a super cool tire swing for his grandkids, so of course our kids had to check it out.

We took a mini hike in their woods.

Emma loved picking flowers.

Back at our rental home my brother decided to get out his fishing poll that he had packed and tried catching some walleye. No luck but a fish did wash up on the beach.

Nolan enjoying the sand in his toes.

Checking out the boats.

For dinner we invited all the cousins over for some food and fun.

Let's see how many cousins we can stack. Starting from the bottom we have Bryce, Ryan, Kate, and Emma.

Abby with cousin Lauren.

Emma and Nolan loved playing with this ball. The two were entertained all night.

Abby with cousin Jenny.

Us mommas needed a mini girl's night. The boys watched the kids and we had some yummy margaritas.

Uncle Steve wanted a pic with all the kids.

Someone was tired of all the partying.

I truly love this family and am so blessed to be in it. I miss them when I am not with them but when we see each other we immediately pick up where we left off. It is fun seeing everyone grow and start new journeys. I only wish we were able to see each other more often.
