On Day 2 of my Birthday Week. Today, in exchange for some extra birthday treats, I am letting Mama show you some of her Minnesota pictures. Of course, I have been "virtually" inserted into most of them.
These are all only snappy shots of the few places the pawrents went, and where their family reunion was held. If you want to see some fun pictures of Minnesota make sure to follow Bailie, Madison, Olivia and Nelson over at My GBGV Life. They get to live in the beautiful state of Minnesota!
The folks had some extra time in Minneapolis before heading north and so they stopped by The Mall of America to get their steps in. They have every store you could imagine(and 2 or 3 of the more famous "mall" stores). But it's not just stores, they have whole amusement park AND an aquarium!!
After their mall visit, the pawrents headed north for about 3 hours to a town called Park Rapids where they found their home for the week.
This is the house where the pawrents stayed with Daddy's family! It had a million rooms(or maybe 8) along with a theater room and a BIG backyard.
The backyard led to Fish Hook River. The younger cousins played here a bunch. There was swimming, kayaking and even paddle boarding!
The adults rented a pontoon boat for one day and had a blast riding around the river and even onto Fish Hook Lake!
Mama and Daddy took a trip one afternoon to a place called Bimidji where Mama was excited to find Paul Bunyon and his pal Blue! We know from Bailie, Madison, Olivia and Nelson that Paul really gets around Minnesota. We have seen Paul in California too. He must really like to travel!
Can you believe this is the Mississippi?? That's right, the mighty Mississippi starts right up in Northern Minnesota! We went to Itasca State Park, where the Mississippi Headwaters are located.
The cousins had a blast swimming in the river and climbing trees.

The pawrents really enjoyed their stay in Minnesota
and we're hoping one day they'll take us to see it!
We are joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the
Happy Tuesday Blog Hop this week!
Impressive! They hit some of the big spots to see in that part of the state and even a visit to MOA! We are glad they had a Grand time and hopefully some day they will be back with you guys and we can meet up.
ReplyDeletethe house is my dream, huge screen porch, water views, woods and a theater room. omw
ReplyDeletegorgeous place to spend a week. as long as i am not there when winter comes. nice place for a summer getawy from Florida or NM
That looks like a wonderful place to stay with family. It had everything you could need, and it sounds like everyone had a great time. We hope you girls get to go on their next trip up there.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your peeps had a grand time and so did you - virtually, Rosy! We hope one day you and Sunny can visit Minnesota too!
ReplyDeleteNiece Rosy I purrsonally think you and Sunny should start a petition to be included in the next family reunion. What a gorgeous home and surely there is a room that can be used as pup accommodations.

Lulu: "Ooh, yeah, that house doesn't look terrible AT ALL!"
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "Our Dada says they have Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox in New York, too! They figure prominently in the amusement park up in Old Forge, wherever that is!"
What a fun time your parents had and what fun to see you all virtually inserted into the fun. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2nd day of your birthday week.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time! Thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteThat was a nice bunch of places and things to see and I'm glad you took us along!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful home, beautiful family ~ beautiful travels, and we trust a fun "virtual" birthday tour for you, little Miss Rosy. Tell the pawrents we're glad they shared all this with us (now we have to back-up and check out Day #!)
ReplyDeleteWe would like to go to the land of a thousand lakes! Maybe someone would catch some fish we could eat. Until then, we are really glad your folks had such a good time with family and seeing all the sights. XOX Xena, Lucy, Chia and Riley
