Part 4 of Minnesota Trip!!

Here are some great pictures from our trip...yes, I still have more...I think I took around 700 pictures in all! I think we are getting close to the end. I tried to only pick a few more, but they are ALL so cute. We are hoping you enjoy these as much as we enjoy looking at them!

Owen getting to know his cousin Logan.

Owen beating up Jared.

They decided to make up after the big fight.

This is always a tradition in their family when someone leaves...looking out the window and waving goodbye.

This was a very monumental event on our trip. Logan's first "real" food!

He wasn't quite sure how to react...

Still not sure...

He liked it!!

Jared helping Sophie put together a John Deere puzzle.

Pappa coloring with the kids at the library.

Owen trying out Pappa's cane for himself.

Apparently Pappa has started this cool trend among little people cause even Sophie has her own cane.

One of the only 2 or 3 times Jared has fed Logan. I think this lasted just long enough for the pic! :)

Logan enjoying his Pappa.

"This little piggy stayed home."

It was so cute to see Owen and Sophie checking their cousin out. Logan was just laying there looking at them.

One day we went to a park at the lake in Annandale, MN...the town where Andrea and Russ live.

We had a nice picnic lunch after swimming.

Owen showed us his stuff in baseball.

And Logan showed off his beach hat.

Logan didn't really give us any reaction to touching the water.

But Grammy did get a reaction out of him!

Cute picture of Jared and Janelle.

Owen loves his juice boxes!!

Part 3 of many parts...MN Trip!!

Here is part three of our pictures from our trip to Minnesota. Hope you enjoy!

Grandma Coulson enjoying her first time with Logan on her lap!

As you can surely tell, they got along really well.

This is Grammy holding Logan out on Grandma Eigen's back screened in porch. I think he was being covered by the blanket because it was pretty windy that day.

Where's Logan?

Picture of Jared after catching his first two fish in MN. I think one was a Northern Pike and the other was a Bass...if I remember correctly. And sorry about the fogginess...I went outside after being in the A/C and my lens was all foggy.

Jared messing around with the fish guts.

Pappa cleaning the two fish.

Logan doing a little tummy time up in his room.

Grandma Coulson and Jared playing cards....well, Jared is playing his guitar during "shuffle time."

Logan looking to see if anyone was coming over to see him...

Daddy doing tummy time with Logan.

Apparently, he loves this view of me.

Pappa, Jared, and I went bowling on Monday night....
Pappa showing us how it's done.
Grammy, Grandma Coulson, Sophie and Owen showed up after we had started and then the Augustin Family showed up after a while too. This was the first time we had gotten to see Owen since he had been sick! Still no Carey though!
Pappa showing off after one of his many many strikes.

Grammy showing Owen and Sophie the fun games.

Owen wanting Grammy to spend some of her hard earned money on him.

Grammy not really wanting me to take her and Owen's pic...

MN Trip...2nd Blog of Many.

So here are some more pictures from our trip to MN! We are definitely missing them right now as they are spending the 4th of July together in Annandale! Happy 4th of July!!


Sophie loves to dance! She REALLY loves to dance with her daddy!
Logan trying out one of the toys that Greg and Carey let us borrow while we were visiting.

We weren't quite sure how it's suppose to work as the ball just sat right at his head...but he seemed to enjoy it!

Aunt Mary getting to hold Logan for one of the first times.

Janelle's cousin Megan holding Logan. So that makes Logan and her great cousins, right?

Tracy holding Logie...he sure got passed around this night!

I think they are all sitting around talking about how much they are looking forward to eating some fish! Russ had a fish fry for us that night.

Aunt Mary getting some more time with Logan.

These were our after dinner dessert specials! Carey made them (but wasn't there to show them off as she was home with her sick son, Owen.) out of brownies and sugar cookies. Aren't they cute??

Cute picture of Jared and Megan.

Greg and Sophie were pretty proud of the hard work Carey did on the hamburger and fries dessert.

Jared liked his!!

Jared showing Megan how to get Logan dressed...

Logan all ready for bed!

One of the many pictures I tried to get of Sophie...this was actually Sophie running upstairs to get away from me!!

And this is the picture that my wife asked me to add after I did the blog...it's her favorite picture of Sophie and Greg dancing!!
