2013 Minnesota Top 10

This list is turning into quite the tradition, but I love to use it to highlight events in our adventures to the Great UP North! Without further adieu....

10. Gardening with Auntie Donna-I was worried Aubs wasn't going to have enough to do, but boy was I wrong! She played, observed, wandered, ooohhhhed and ahhhed over the gardens AND made her very own "fairy" garden!!!



9. Seeing my friends Kirk, Chuck, Elsa and Jacqueline-TWICE!!!

8. Hanging with my sister and cousin Amy, but really modeling the Team Cousin group to Isla, Aubs and Ashlin! ;)


7. Aubs developing her artistic talent with her very own Omie guiding and shaping her!!! THANK YOU MOM for loving my baby in that way. What a great relationship you two have because of it! 



6. Spending time with the WHOLE family down at Canal Park :) 
 



 
5. Watching Aubs independently play in the backyard, which includes caring for tadpoles with great intensity, rock climbing around the pond, riding the 4-wheeler, and swinging. 
 


4. Surprising my dad with a 60th Birthday party, kinda!!! 
 



3. Going to Itasca State Park, the headwaters of the Mississippi River. What a great experience!



 
2. Learning that my daughter is an AVID rock climber after visiting yet another rock climbing place, Gooseberry Falls. :) 
 





2. We got to spend lots of quality time with these girls!!! Love them :)
