Marvelous Minnesota!

We had a wonderful time visiting family & friends in MN! The weather was PERFECT & we enjoyed many fabulous days at the cabin! It was nice to have a while to catch up & relax, lots of good quality time. Collin did fairly well on the plane rides & slept quite well during the trip (besides getting up at 6am frequently). Collin loved that there was lots of water involved, as it should be for a vacation in MN. Here's a few clips for you....

And much, much more!!! Miss everyone already & can't wait to see you again soon!

Desolation Lake

Collin & I took advantage of a nice day & headed to Desolation lake (well, almost...a light rain & dark clouds got in our way). The flowers & views were fabulous & the little guy was a great traveller. Here's some of what we saw:


Pretty flowers

More playtime in the stream, love the rocks.

Final views, a great day!

Cecret Lake

Collin & I took advantage of another pretty day & headed up to Cecret Lake at Alta. The flowers weren't quite out at full force, but it's always pretty none the less. He enjoyed checking out the vegetation & even ventured out on the trail for a second on his own. Yep, we're growing our own "Altaholic" (thanks for the shirt Tim & Kate!).






Some mountain blue bells by the stream
