Minnesota Part IV: Til Next Time

The end of August was busy.  First Larson’s Nana came to visit, then Auntie Nique and then Daddy.  All of us were together, at once, in the same zip code.  We celebrated Nana’s birthday together and even took family photos.

Larson got to hang out with his Uncle Mike.

Here’s what I saw on most mornings as I got ready to leave for work.  Kinda nice, huh?

Jason bought Larson a red union suit while he was in Alaska and couldn’t wait put it on him.  Now we all can wear matching pajamas.  Yes, I have one, too.

Dodie stopped by to see us before we left.  She brought Larson a gift.  He thought it was much more fun to play with the ribbon…..

Rather than open his gift.

But he eventually got to open it and see his brand new book on boats.  Thanks, Dodie!

We went on a walk to the Arcola or “Coca-Cola” Bridge.

There was a children’s play area in the Minneapolis airport.  It was great to let Larson run around for a bit before being stuck on a plane for 2.5 hrs.  As you can see, he thoroughly enjoyed himself.

At the Dallas airport, we stopped to eat at Chili’s.  Larson had his usual, chips and salsa.  Here he is playing hide and seek.
