What a weekend!!! Back in February Mitch's parents celebrated 50 years of marriage. Well February isn't really the most opportune time to get together. And Tootie wanted a family trip to celebrate. So this weekend we made that happen. We hauled it up to Minnesota on Thursday night and Friday. The girls were excited to get there. Our van went all the way to Florida and back and then to Minnesota and back in the span of 19 days!!! After we arrived on Friday they girls wasted no time. They went straight to the dock for some fishing. Uncle Todd, Aunt Lori, Justin and Mitch did a great job showing them how to bait their hooks with nightcrawlers and how to take the fish off the hook. Obviously I was having none of that. They were loving it and spent a majority of the night with poles in their hands. After Dave and Toot showed up, Grandpa Dave took Leah out and taught her how to drive the boat. I think she loved it.
On Saturday we were up and at'em early. The girls grabbed their poles and Mitch took them out for some fishing...Grandpa took a turn with them too. Then things got really fun. Uncle Todd brought his tubes so they hooked them both up and the kids all took turns out on the water. Grandpa Dave drove the boat a little smoother for our girls than he did for the big kids. We had a bags tournament. Mitch and I weren't too shabby...but ultimately Lori and Bradyn were the winners. Leah even got some time on the skis. I think Mitch was having fun teaching her and he even got up a few times.
Saturday night we had dinner and a small celebration. Lisa did a photo video tribute and we had cake to celebrate. Sunday morning came too soon and we were sad to hit the road but thankful for the memories made. It always goes too fast!
