road trippin'

2 destinations, 5 days, 16 hours in the car. 2 over-tired, schedule-confused, excited-but-homesick kids. 2 thankful but terribly exhausted adults.

we drove to minneapolis to see aunt julia, uncle dana, and cousins caleb and byron. after a very sleepless night with a teething infant, we got up and drove to fargo.

a rare moment of kid sleep in the car


hello minneapolis!


in minneapolis, there was a kitchen floor cousin pile up,

an early morning baby bjorn stroll across the mississippi river to sooth a tired and teething 7 month old, courtesy of a sleep-deprived father,


 minnesota slip-n-slide.
 

in fargo, we saw ramona and james' great-grandma scott. visiting my grandma scott always inspires me to be strong and brave and awesome, like she is. kid bonus: waterpark at the hotel.

aren't they beautiful?


6:40 am. hotel room. leftover pizza. old, bruised pear. happy toddler.


pirate-themed waterparks aren't just for kids.


the poolside hang out crowd.
