Are We There Yet???

I heard this question a few times over the last week as Kylie and I packed up and hit the road together covering quite a bit of territory!

The short version: we visited a lot of family, had lots of fun, ate too much food, and tried to beat the heat. We stayed 5 nights in 3 locations putting on almost 700 miles in about 15 hours of driving.

Proceed if you want the long version with pictures :-)


Destination #1: Brainerd to visit Holly and Pat

Boat ride and beach fun!


Jon joined us for the day


Monkey business



Yard dice!

Pat will be starting up a new Olympic sport

Destination #2: New Ulm (to visit many, but most G and G)


Very proud of her loot from the parade


Trying to beat the heat at Aunt Kathy's

Snuggling with grandma and watching a movie before bed

Destination #3: Cleary Lake Regional Park (Prior Lake) to meet up with much of the Gulden side including my cousin Cher and her 4 kids from Seattle


Juliet, the newest addition


This is NOT the entire continuously growing brood! I believe we were missing 6 grandkids and 3 great grandkids. But whose counting?

Four generations


Playing all day in record breaking heat is a tough job


Destination #4: Winona (on a complete whim to visit my sister and clan)


Fueling up for the day


Sistas


Kylie sick of mom throwing the camera in her face so they played along

Destination #5: Duluth, just in time to head back to work tomorrow (finally).

I love the picture of her at the piano. It makes her look like one of those calm children. Luckily you have the ones of her running, being flipped, and general squirming to assure me it really is Kylie.
