Minnesota: Day 7

   We left Spicer at 7 in the morning and got to the airport at about 9:30. Going through security was such a hassle this time. They checked almost all of our bags because we had Connor's milk, baby food, wipes, etc. all  in different bags. They weren't picky on our way to MN, but on our way home they were! It was embarrassing having them look through everything. They were really nice though, and completely understood. They just recommended that next time we put all our liquids in one bin. 

    Connor was pretty restless on our first flight. He did not want to sit down, so I spent a good 20 minutes standing up with him in the back of the airplane. I am so grateful that the flight attendants were so nice and all the people around us loved Connor. 

   We stopped in Atlanta again, but this time had a 2 1/2 hour layover. We were thankful for that. We were starving, so we had lunch at one of the restaurants.

Happy to be off the airplane!

Minnesota: Day 6

     Today was our last full day in Minnesota. Since Aaron's dad and Aaron got their deer, today we spent time with family.

Minnesota: Day 5

     Since Aaron shot his deer yesterday, he didn't have to hunt today. That meant he got to sleep in past 5am, and more importantly help with Connor during the night! I was so happy that we were able to have "family time" today.

Saying goodbye to Auntie Chrissy and Uncle Ryan.

Minnesota: Day 4

     This is our fourth day in Minnesota and we have noticed that Connor has been needier and fussier than usual. His grandpappy decided to buy him a jumper to use for the rest of our stay in hopes that it would keep him happy. 

 There were lots of pieces.

Minnesota: Day 3

   Connor had a rough night, which made for a bad night for Aaron and me. He has been waking up a lot since we have been here. I think he can sense that we aren't home and he isn't in his bed. By the time we got up and ready for the day, Aaron was already home from his morning hunt. He wasn't in a good mood because he shot at a few deer, and missed each time. He was going to go shoot at a target to try and site in his gun, so I decided Connor and I would go outside with him. I got Connor dressed in his winter jacket and we went outside. It was 20 degrees (Brrrrrrr!) and we only lasted about 5 minutes.

Minnesota: Day 2

   Connor woke up at about 5:20, so we went downstairs to see all of the hunters before they headed out for their morning hunt. Aaron was already gone, but everyone else was still there. We visited for a little while and then went back to sleep. When we woke up, at about 8, only Grandma was home. Connor and I spent time with her and she played with him. When he was ready for a nap, she put him to sleep.

 He loved taking naps on the couch cushions that were on the floor.

Minnesota: Day 1

    Day 1 of our Minnesota hunting trip started at about 5 in the morning. None of us slept well because of all the excitement. I woke up 30 minutes before my alarm went off and started getting ready. After Aaron woke up and got ready, he loaded up our 8 bags into the car. Yes, we had a total of 8 bags and a stroller. We woke Connor up at the last minute and fed him. We were out the door by 6:30 and drove to Raleigh. Aaron dropped Connor, me, and all our luggage near the ticket counter before parking the car at one of the long term parking lots.
