(Before I go any further describing our trip, I must first acknowledge Brian's accomplishment. Getting an MBA is a challenge for anyone, I'm sure. But do it when your a little older than the norm, have two kids and a wife and no background in business, and it's an extra huge challenge. I did a lot of moaning and groaning about living like students again... how he was never home and when he was home he was always studying, etc., etc... but I am very proud of him. It wasn't easy, but he's done AND employed!!!)
Back to our trip. We had a very brief stay in St. Paul. Flew in, let Aubrey play with the cousins a bit, got the kids to bed, and Brian off to dinner with the three sisters. Less than 24 hours after our arrival, we were on our way to Brian's parent's place in Wisconsin. The weather was a bit chilly most days, but when the sun came out, it was beautiful. We took daily boat rides and walks down the lane to the mailbox. Hit a farm auction. Saw a bald eagle family. Went on tractor rides. Played Aubrey's new favorite game... "spiderman" (this involved swiping Grandma's fly swatters and using them as a web while running around the cabin). Danced on the porch to some oldies. Removed a tick from Aubrey's neck. And of course, played "keep Henry from breaking things or himself." I was kicking myself for not bringing my good camera. So many great moments to capture. It was a great trip and hopefully these photos convey that.
