Maddy's Minnesota Adventure

Plane Trip to Minnesota!


While Steve and I were in Belize, Maddy had a fantastic time in Minnesota!

She spent the first week in Knife River (just outside Duluth), Minnesota with my parents, Grandmom (Jacquie) and Granddad (Jim).  They traveled to Bayfield to spend time with Maddy's Great Grandma (GG) Shirley, and that made me very happy.  They also went to the Children's museum, shopped, visited Gooseberry Falls and Maddy got in some quality time with her best doggie friend, Gerda.  Grandmom's spaghetti was a big hit, and Maddy and her Grandmom and Granddad had a wonderful visit.

Maddy spent the second week with Steve's parents, Grandma Jan and Grandpa Mike in Inver Grove Heights (twin cities suburb).  Uncle Jeff, Aunt Sara, Jana, Colin, Uncle Ben, Aunt Shelly, Anton, Leah and Eli also live in the twin cities area = added bonus: cousin time!  Maddy even had a sleepover with her cousins, which was definitely one of her highlights.  I was also very happy that she was able to visit Sr. Eunice with Jan. 

While Steve and I were enjoying Belize, Maddy was also having her own adventures and loving her trip, too!
