Erik and Becca....


We had a wonderful weekend with these two fantastic people! Yes, Auntie Becca and Uncle Erik flew up for a visit and it was so sweet to see them and make some treasured memories. The weather was absolutely perfecto, and we enjoyed the Minneapolis Sculpture Gardens, playing in the leaves, (which of course involved a step ladder and jumping!) eating yummy food, playing TONS of games (Settlers, Ticket to Ride, Cranium, Blockus, Catch Phrase, to name a few:) We had a blast getting together with the rest of the family too-- the more the merrier for games. Catch Phrase got rather boisterous, and it was blazin' hot in the condo (thus the flushed faces in the picture), but it was so fun to have everyone together (and Jonas loved all of the action!) We enjoyed having a picnic and of course, hitting the lake with the kayak---Everyone gave it a shot! Thanks you two for making the trek up here! We miss you already!
