Minnesota Part 1

This year we did our annual Minnesota trip a little early (last year September was getting a little too cool for us). Ava was excited for another airplane trip. Since she is now 2, she got her own seat (window of course) which made it more fun for her…

Ava loved being at NeeNee and Pops’ house – especially since she can navigate the steps better. Pops even setup a swing for her on the deck, which was perfect for Ava (and Mom)

Ava liked being out on the patio…enjoying the cooler weather…

And chilling in the rocking chair.

One of the days we met up with Lola and Papa (Scott’s parents) and cousin Alisha and Maya at the Minnesota Zoo. The kids had fun with the animals, but even more fun in the play area.

Here’s Ava riding a fish…

Alisha and Ava heading into the splash pad…

Surprise – Ava is all wet…

The kids then had fun with the “eagles nest”

One of the days we went to the farm where NeeNee keeps her horse. Of course Dad had to take a picture of Ava and a windmill…

While Ava was a little intimidated by the big horses, she had more fun with Amos the kitty, who was a bit more her size…

Ava likes chilling with Pops…

And having breakfast with her fish Betty the beta.

Combining the fun of a bus with Mom’s favorite team, the Vikings, was a Kodak moment….

Stay tuned for more Minnesota fun….
