Our Trip to Minnesota!

Last Wednesday morning, Isaac & I flew to Minnesota!  He had been a great traveler when we flew to Florida in March, & he did an equally great job this flight.  I am surprised, though, that he never sleeps on the plane.  He is much too interested in looking out the window and staring at the "fasten seatbelt" lights!  He was so cute on our flight home that the stewardess asked if she could walk with him in the aisles...before I knew it, he had visited the kitchen, first class, and most of coach.  The stewardess was showing him off and telling everyone what his name was! 

The reason for our trip was two-fold.  I really wanted my Grandma Dolores to meet and spend time with Isaac.  She has prayed for us to have a baby for so long, and I knew she couldn't wait to get her hands on this little guy!  Even though I send her pictures of Isaac all the time, there's nothing like meeting him in person.  Of course, I took a ton of pictures of Isaac with his Great-Grandma 'Lor--here are a few of my favorites!

It meant so much to me to see my grandma cuddle and sing with Isaac.  The song she sang to him the most was "Pony Boy"--she even sang it for him in Swedish a few times! 

We spent most of our time in Minnesota with Grandma 'Lor.  We ate at LeeAnn Chin (one of my favorites that I miss in Texas), and we also went to the Mall of America one evening. 

Grandma & I also spent a lot of time looking through her photo albums.  If you know my grandma at all, you know that she loves pictures just as much as I do!  I love looking at all her pictures & hear her talk about "the olden days."  Even though I was sad to say good-bye to my grandma, we are excited that we get to visit her again in July for her 90th birthday party!

The other reason for our trip was my 10 year reunion!  Most people are shocked when they hear how small my high school class was--I graduated in a class of 25!  But, when you're in a class that small, everyone gets to know each other really well.  It was so fun to see so many from our class again, and it seemed like we were able to pick right back up where we left off!  On Friday, several of us met at the Como Zoo.  There were quite a few kids, and they had a lot of fun looking at the animals.  Even Isaac was enthralled with the giraffes! 

On Saturday evening, we all had a cookout and bonfire!  It was so fun to catch up with so many dear friends!  It's hard to believe that we graduated from high school 10 years ago...in some ways, it feels just like yesterday; and other times, it feels like a lifetime ago.  I'm so glad I was able to travel up to Minnesota to be a part of the reunion.  Hopefully it won't be 10 more years before I see many of these friends again!
