Quick Trip to MN

I had a whirlwind one day business trip to take to Eden Prairie, MN a couple of weeks ago. At the last minute, we decided to make a weekend out of it and go visit Ben, Steph and the girls. Katie flew up on Saturday and I flew back home on Sunday. We were only there a couple of days so we didn't get to see all of the friends and family that we usually do, but we had lots of fun playing around the house...


...and reading stories...


Eleanor's big news is that she recently received her first two visits from the tooth fairy!


Right before we left, I finally got to do something I always wanted to do - skate on a real lake! This was my first time skating since my knee injury, so I was very excited to give it a try. It went very well (especially considering the extremely broken down old skates I was borrowing!)


Ada opted for the first-class ride around the lake compliments of dad.

And then before I knew it, it was already time to come home. But a surprise visit with our nieces and family - what a nice treat!
