Minnesota adventures.

We were blessed to spend the Fourth of July week with Paul's family in Minnesota.

Hannah and Natalie helped us scope out family picture settings on Carleton's campus.

Ice cream at Hogan Brothers

 Every day was beautiful and the cousins had LOTS of fun getting one another wet.

Nerstrand Woods State Park!

We took a short hike down to the falls - twice!!

Wes, Julie and Ashton at the top of the falls.

Aunt Julie bravely took all four kiddos wading in the creek above the falls.

We ate a yummy lunch at the state park.

Opa gave fun rides on the tire swing!

Ashton was educating Natalie on dirt bikes and all things "boy" by showing her this video clip.

sweet cousins playing at Oma and Opa's

Hannah loved the "hammock" at Round Lake Park.

Weston in the hammock :-)

We had a lovely evening eating and visiting with Donita and her son.
We got a group shot with all the girls.
