Random trip to MN

Sophie doesn't know what is going on! :)

Brody thought he was SO cool because he could slide sideways.  He was just copying Claire.

I guess Wilson isn't afraid to hold a fish!

Brody caught a big one! He needed Papa's help to get it in! This one scared the kids a bit - it was a little too big.

I was lucky enough to go to Lilly's school and have her read to me.  She did a report on skunks, it was great!

This is what happens when Brody spends the days with Papa!

We made a spontaneous trip to MN and it was great! We accomplished a ton in the time we were there! We got to see Ryan and Jamie, my aunt Vickie, uncle David, uncle Randy and cousins Joel and Melissa, hang out at grandmas, go to Lilly's school, go to Lilly and Claires dance recital, have Mothers Day lunch with mom and GG and hang out with family.  Seriously, how great is that! The boys and kids got quite a bit of fishing in too! It's nice that we live within a drive-able distance so when I get bored and antsy we can head up for a visit.  I literally planed the trip Thursday at noon and was on the road at 2:00p - somehow Stephen managed to arrange going to the shooting range Thursday night followed by drinks, Friday - drinks for a going away party, Sat - more shooting then xbox, Sunday - xbox and fishing, Monday - catfish fry.  HAHA so I think he enjoyed the time too :)
