Since Corey has a couple weeks of job hiatus before his new job, he planned an extended weekend in Minnesota with our friends, the Sandens. 'Grandma and Grandpa' Sanden have a beautiful log cabin on Otter Tail Lake, about an hour drive from Fargo, ND. Corey's sister Maria (who goes to school in Fargo) joined us for the weekend.
I didn't take near enough photos at the cabin ... I guess we were a little distracted with sun and fun (and maybe it had something to do with having five kiddos running around).
Sanden Beach
Sea shells ... er ... lake shells?
On Monday we headed to Alexandria, MN to visit Josh and Renee and see their new house/farm.
We spent the day in downtown Alexandria and made a fun stop at the City Park.
Josh and Renee have a beautiful piece of Minnesota lake country - complete with barns, apple trees, ponds and gardens.
Kya loved their super cool play room
Lucy and Ryan, picking (and eating) apples
Kya enjoying an ice cream treat with the Sanden kids ... in age order from 18 months to second grade:
Lucy, Kya, Ryan, John, Ella
What is it about kids and ice cream?! Love it.
On Tuesday we headed home with a long stopover in Fargo, ND
I was very excited to visit Unglued, a new store in downtown Fargo ... that just so happens to carry Bison Booties. If you think this Bison Booties display is cool, you've to to see the rest of the store. Wowie, this is possibly the coolest store I've
ever been in. All handmade - what could be better?! Plus, they have
cupcakes and a super cool kid's corner. Love it.
If you're in Fargo, this store is a must: Unglued, 408 Broadway North, Downtown Fargo, North Dakota
Kya loved this large painted bison in downtown Fargo
We had a few hours to spare - before Maria got out of class - so we went to the Children's Museum in Fargo. Neither Corey or I had ever heard of this place ... I found it with a google search. I can't even begin to say how great this place is. I wish we had one in Bismarck. For only $5 (each) we roamed and explored the 50+ exhibits. Kya loved it!
We met up with Maria (after class) and took her out to an early dinner at Drunken Noodle. I'm now officially VERY excited for this restaurant to arrive in Bismarck. Yum. Kya liked it too!
