The Minnesota Chronicles: Episode 2 - June 21, 2012

Day two of our summer vacation began with a hearty breakfast in our hotel. I took the boys downstairs to the breakfast area around 8 AM while Louise took a shower and got ready back in the room. 

Little did we know we were about to have a small feast for free. The hotel had eggs, sausage, bagels, donuts, waffles and more.  Then we went over to Uncle Kevin and Aunt Jenni's house to hang out and jump on their trampoline. George and Ethan had a blast. 

Later that day we went to the neighborhood park and played for a while. After that, back to Kevin's house for some basketball. Uncle Kevin was going to lower the hoop for George, but George wouldn't have that. He wanted to shoot the ball at the highest level. Kevin and I told him that he wasn't going to make it, so you know what he does...He makes it on his FIRST shot. 

Ethan decided that basketball wasn't for him, so he and a neighborhood girl, Andrea, played with sidewalk chalk...no, don't think I have a little artist, sorry. A little later, we went to the airport to pick up the rest of the family. My brother, Brad, and his family arrived first followed by my parents and my sister's family. 

Then we went back to Kevin's house for more trampoline fun. 

My niece, Katie, decided she wanted me to take a few profile pics for "ChristianMingle.com." So if you're interested she likes long walks on the beach, and really hairy guys. :)

We ended up hanging out at Kevin & Jenni's house that night just having some fun with the entire family. We ate wings and pizza and watched the Heat win the NBA Championship. 

We ended the day with a bonfire in the backyard. 

It was a great day, just spending some quality time with the FAM. & Tim
