Minnesota

We were able to fly as a family to Minnesota this year for a quick visit. We overlapped with my sister and her family for a few hours for a short "Christmas" time on the afternoon we arrived.  We even got a much needed family picture which will be coming to a post later.

As always, we didn't get near the pictures taken that we should have.  We had 2 nice days (even hit 30*) to do outdoor things like skating, x-country skiing, (which the 3 oldest kids actually thought was fun) and snowmobiling.

Our last day there was cold....didn't get above -10*.  We went to church and spent time playing indoor games.  The next morning when we left for the airport the thermometer read -36*.

It was so nice being there.  Thanks everyone!
