The rest of our visit to MN

Elise & I got back from our trip this past Saturday, and here's a quick recap of the week.
Mom and Dad brought down the horse that we all remember riding and bouncing on for hours as kids...and Elise loved it too! My dad also powder-coated the old metal crib we all used as infants, and it worked great for Elise to stretch out. She slept soundly, which is always a bonus when you're away from home.
We all traveled down to Okaboji, IA for a day trip & enjoyed beautiful weather & great food as we tried out a new restaurant, Braco! It was a Caribbean style place with great food & great atmosphere right off the lake.







We spent the evening with Josh & Debi before we took an early morning flight back to Charlotte, and had fun catching up with them. We'll be heading back to Minneapolis in just a couple weeks again for their wedding...so it was a nice chance to see them before all the activity starts.
It was a fun week - thanks Mom & Dad!
