Our Trip to Minnesota!

This last week Dan and I had the chance to go back to Minnesota for a few days.  Dan's sister Annette got married in the St. Paul Temple on Friday.  We then went boating on Saturday with our friend's the Hunt's and then went up to Floodwood, were we got to spend time with family on the Bolstad side of the family to celebrate Grandma Rene's 90th Birthday.  We had a great time.  It was wonderful to see Annette and Gabe get married, I have never seen her so happy!  At Grandma's birthday celebration, it felt like it was a goodbye, as that was probably the last time many of us would get to see her again.  On Monday morning as we leaving we were told that Grandma's cancer from 4 yrs ago had come back.  So we really don't know how much time we will have with her.  I am so glad Dan and I got to go and be there and spend time with her and the rest of the family that were able to come.

Thanks to my mom and dad and my niece Sammy for taking care of our kids while we were gone.

Here is some photo's from our trip.
Annette(Dan's sister) and Gabe, Congratulations! We are so happy for you!



It started to down pour rain as we went to launch the boat.  We got it launched and took a nice ride up the St. Criox River.  By the time we came back it was nice and sunny!
