friends and family tour

Probably should have added "food" to the title of this post. The Chunglund family has returned from a whirlwind two week friends and family tour of Minnesota. With the exception of not catching up with Laura Hughes and company and eating the beloved gyro pizza in Northfield (why aren't they open for lunch, WTF?), I think I can say that we did/ate/saw everything and everyone that was on our list.

Here's what we did in Minneapolis -

brunch with Nadia and Erica ... and
bottomless mimosas!

Northfield! But no gyro pizza. Grrr.
They weren't open for lunch. WTF. *tear*

MOAB (Mall of America, BABY!)

 

Como Zoo

first haircut in Uptown!

hanging out with my bro & family

 

 We also had dinner with the Red-Maups, for which there apparently is no photo documentation. But it happened. And it was awesome!

After a night at Erica's, we headed to Duluth where we ...

hung out with the Corbett/Galbraith clan

froze our butts off by the lake

 

froze our butts some more at the Huskies game.
thank you Pakou for the extra clothes!

saw some cousins

hung out with the Moses family.
they are both going the same height on that swing.
trust me.

Then it was time to head to Grand Rapids to see ...

Papa Ralph!

After which, we FINALLY made it to Lake Vermilion to see Grandma Amy and Papa Roger where there were ...

boats to ride, drive, and play in



fairy gardens to build

 

fish to feed in Papa's pond

bears at the North American Bear Center

 

crayfish to hunt

 

swimming in the freezing cold lake

And best of all - FAMILY! Lots and lots of family.

 

The Chunglunds had a wonderful tour. Thank you to everyone that let us stay at their house, fed us, hung out with us, took care of my children, etc. Until next year!
