DFW, Texas to Spicer, Minnesota: Summer Vacation Part 1

     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.

June 28, 2017

    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}.

Hinojosa Family Reunion

    Way back on June 24, we went to a family reunion for my dads side of the family. It was so hot, but we had a wonderful time visiting with family we haven't seen in years.

Our Weekend

    This weekend we decided to stay home since we spent the last weekend in Dallas. On Friday we went to a BBQ at Aaron's work.  One of the FRG's had a pie in the face donation table. Connor really wanted to smash one in Aaron's face, so Aaron let him. He was such a great sport. I can't say I would have been the same.

Home Sweet Home

    It's crazy to believe that we have already been living in our new house for a month now, and we are still sleeping on a blow up bed! Let's scratch that, I am sleeping on a blow up bed, Aaron's sleeping on the floor because he can't handle my tossing and turning {gotta love pregnancy insomnia}, and Connor is sleeping upstairs in his room on a cotton filled floor mattress. Minus the sleeping situation, we are loving our new home. We received our small shipment of unaccompanied goods from Italy, but are still waiting for all the rest of our stuff. We are really hoping it comes sometime next week because this 29 week pregnant mama has slept on an uncomfortable blow up bed long enough!

Rabbit Fest

     On May 18, Connor, Aaron, my mom, and I went to the 37th Annual Rabbit Fest in our towns city park. We didn't know much about it, except from the little bit of info that I was able to find online, so it was a surprise for us when we got there opening evening after Aaron got home from work. It was bigger then I imagined, with rides, food vendors, and even a small arts and crafts section. The weather forecast called for rain, but luckily it didn't rain and it just stayed overcast with a nice breeze.
