Our Trip to MN

Last week, The 3 of us took a trip to the land of 10,000 lakes, Minnesota. The Aho side of the family was having a cousins family reunion so we decided to take the trip that I haven't taken in 25 years, up to Virgina MN. At the least, we figured that we would meet some new family and have a little down time. Well, We did meet some GREAT people but as for downtime... well... we didn't see any of that. :) I can't possibly begin to explain our trip here. We did so much that I'd be writing for days. I am going to post the pictures on Snapfish so when I do, I'll post that link too so for now, here are a few teasers.

The family reunion at the Finn Fest.

Leah and Jaiden.

At the Mall Of America (echo, echo, echo...)

And the most exciting thing about our return is that Jaiden is now sleeping in his own big boy bed. Eveyone is very excited!

The Yellow River Game Ranch

This weekend was a beautiful weekend so we decided to go to the Yellow River Game Ranch. It is a local petting zoo with just about every kind of animal you can imagine. We had a great time and spent most of it chasing Jaiden (like usual). A lot of the animals will walk right up to you and eat out of your hands but the few them are in cages have tubes into the cage so you can still feed them. I think Jaiden enjoyed these the most. He didn't quite know what to think about the squirls and deer coming right up to him. When they did, he would just throw the food to them.

The bears were my favorite. The one would sit on this platform and just wait for you to throw them food. They were so fun to watch. (I think there were a total of 6 bears.)
