"mini" ~ Vacation!!!

We are in the swing of school right now, but before we hit the books we took a little vacation to Minnesota. We stayed at grandpa and grandma's house and enjoyed fishing, boating, swimming and relaxation at their beautiful lake home.

I just thought this picture of Noah and Hannah was cute. It is actually taken before we even left on our vacation.

Here is Rachel with her first fish that she has ever caught!!!



The fish were biting so fast that all the kids would have a fish at the same time! It sure kept grandma busy taking off the fish and replacing the worms!







We had a few tangles! Just like in life! Rachel and Nick's fish decided to "fight" and got tangled together.








We also enjoyed a trip to the Science Museum and Omni Theatre in Minneapolis. There were a lot of "hands on" activities for the kids to try. Like riding a bike to see how much energy it takes to light up some light bulbs, or play a radio, or get a fan to blow.






Here, Rachel is sitting on a big hand that has "owies". When I saw this hand, I couldn't help to think about how big God's hands are, and how he can hold each one of us and the universe!








Here we are at a Twins & Yankees game. Noah is helping himself to popcorn. (what a pig). Twins went into double overtime innings and lost:( Benji, our little Yankee fan, was pretty happy. Although, when Twins were ahead, he did start cheering and dancing for the Twins!
