At the end of June / beginning of July Aaron took a little less than two weeks off work so we could go to Minnesota for his grandparents 60th Anniversary celebration. Being that he missed their 50th, he wasn't going to miss this one. We had so much fun with family and relaxing on the lake. Because we were there for so long, I'm going to separate it into three different blog posts.

When Aaron got off work, which was earlier then we expected, we drove to Pappy's house. As soon as we got there we went swimming until dinner time. For dinner we ate sushi, our favorite! We stayed up really late talking with Chrissy and decided at the last minute that we would try and fly to Minnesota the next day because flights weren't looking great for Friday {life of a standby passenger}.

We woke up early and were at the airport by 8:30/9. The flights didn't look great, but we thought we would try. Turns out we spent the entire day at the airport hoping to catch a flight, but failed. Chrissy was the only lucky one and got on one of the last flights. It worked out really well because she was able to get our luggage from the airport in Minnesota. For some reason they sent it on that first flight we tried to catch, so we were worried it would get lost. Connor was such a trooper. He walked 98% of the time we were at the airport because we didn't have his stroller, and Aaron carried his bulky carseat from one gate to another. When we got home that night {it was after 11} we were all exhausted! We went straight to bed because our plan was to drive to Minnesota the next day since flights were looking even worst that next day.
My boys.

We were out of the house and on the road by 5:30 am. We made really good time considering we have a child and I'm pregnant. We made 3, maybe 4 stops, and only added an hour and 15 minutes to our time over the entire day. {That's because 45 minutes of that was walking around Target stretching our legs and letting Connor pick out a special toy.} The whole drive took us about 16 hours.

After having lunch with Pappy, Carol, and Regan, we went to the Senior Center to help setup for Aaron's grandparents 60th Anniversary Reception. It was very nice, and they had a great turnout.
After the reception, we went to Grandma and Grandpas house for pizza. The kids had fun running around, and we enjoyed the beautiful weather.
I love grandmas rock garden.

She got a beautiful new ring.
