Girls Trip to Minnesota!

The girls and I took off last Saturday for a week in Minnesota with my family.  All things considered....we had a great time!  Highlights include hitting the splash park (twice), bike rides, church festival/outdoor concert and fireworks in St. Joseph with a Santa Claus sighting, dinner in the cities with the Prostaff girls, drinks with Mindy (beauty school girlfriend), visiting Grandma Ann Marie at work, helping Grandpa Harvey with yard work,  taco night in St. Anna, fireworks and fishing in Alex with Travis and family and finally a cousins wedding in Rochester.  Minnesota is definitely the land of the mosquito and we lived in bug spray.  It's funny because I don't remember complaining quite so much when I lived there but they are TERRIBLE.  Kennedy swells with each bite so I hope she grows out of that with age.  Marissa did pretty well with the long trip but I'm sure she will be better next time when she's a little older.  Whew...busy week!
 Kennedy sitting with my parents friend, Bill.  She danced around all night with the live music waiting for fireworks.  Oh, and she learned what a "port-a-potty" is and sadly, I think she kind of liked it.
 Santa Claus was at the beer garden in St. Joe!  Rather than telling him what she wanted for Christmas this year she kept thanking him for the Criss Cross Crash from last year.
 Although Kennedy and the Dora fishing pole tried to hook a fish she was unsuccessful but Connor was a busy kid!


 Marissa got to open her birthday presents early from Auntie Bonnie and Uncle Travis.

 Grandma and Grandpa with the grand kids!
 The Prostaff Girls!  Shannon, Tricia, Sandy and Kate!

 Kristi's wedding at the Rochester Country Club...beautiful day and beautiful wedding!



She made friends (immediately) with the flower girl and ring bearer.  She was also the first one on the dance floor.  Shocking, I know.
