Our Midwest Vacation

After 1-1/2 years, we figured it was time to give the flight to MN another go.  Connor was very excited to go on the airplane and he did very well.  If we could just get him to understand that kicking the seat in front of him is not funny, we would be set!


We were in MN for a limited time, but we tried to fit in plenty of activity...

Grandpa Don took Connor to a neighbor's place to see what some of the barnyard animals that he sings about look like (it's odd to think that he has never seen a cow or horse or chicken before, but that's life at the beach I guess).

Swinging with Grandma Dianne at the park.


Hanging with Dora at the Mall of America

First time ever at a zoo!



Merry-Go-Round with Grandpa John

Boating on Lake Minnetonka

Sunset swim in the lake


Probably the best picture I have ever taken.  Connor's expression is priceless...


Still celebrating his birthday with ice cream cake



We then headed to Illinois for Chad's Grandma's family reunion.  I think the extreme heat kept us from taking more pictures...

First time bowling!


He preferred pretending that he was driving a car while everyone else bowled
