Extended Family in Minnesota
We have been laying low and recuperating in the Twin Cities for quite a while now, fixing and unpacking and cleaning and repacking the car. The three of us were a wee bit tuckered out from the first leg, after all. We are restocking our provisions, doing laundry, organizing, and sleeping. But most importantly, we have spent time with family.
Our first two days in Minneapolis were spent with Aunt Jodi, and the cousins Hannah, Caedmon, and Indya, and Uncle Steve in the evenings. I was promptly jumped on, attacked, bitten, spanked, dragged downstairs, tied up, tortured, and photographed by the three cousins that first morning. Good morning Baltimore.
The rest of the time we spent seeing Auntie Cindy's godmother, Aunt Lois; our Aunt Gloria and Uncle Denny in Duluth; Uncle Jeff and Aunt Elaine and their kids Esther and Micah; Uncle Michael and Aunt Colleen and their kids Emily, Alicia, and Jordan; Uncle Ron; Cousin Kelly; Cousin Kevin; Grandpa and Grandma Swanson; Aunt Kathy; and the Kellys. We went to an Irish Fair, an Indian pow wow, the Minnesota State Fair, and Canal Park. Among us, we rode on one of the five alpine coasters in the States, and went biking, swimming, and hiking. Auntie and I also toured Macalester College in St. Paul. The days have been packed but relaxed.
More details about our time in Minnesota will be posted when we have the time.
We depart the Twin Cities for Chicago in a few hours, via Wisconsin. Minnesota, it's been lovely!
