Trip to MN-Day 1, Part 2

One of the best parts of being in Minnesota is all the wonderful family time. Getting the cousins together is so fun. Mari was especially excited to be able to help out with "baby" Elijah.
Elijah, who we were told wasn't actually cuddly or outgoing, seemed to love his Uncle Eric. He was perfectly content to snuggle into Eric for much of the evening.
We also had the fun of getting to visit with some other good friends who just happen to have a wedding to attend on that end of the cities. There were nine children, ages 3 months to 6 years, running around and trying to eat dinner. That should explain why I have no good photos.

In order to settle the children down for bed, Eric told them a story. They were all pretty captivated. I'm always impressed with my math-and-science guy's creativity.

We were so glad we got to be part of your "trip to MN"!! Here's a link to my photo from the night. (If I know my html well enough to get this to work. Here goes...)
9 children

The story looks like it was a lot of fun for all involved.

SO good to see all five of you!
