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!
