Lots of Fun in Minnesota!

Minnesota was the next stop on our tour.  Lots of fun here!

 It started with a round of Rock band on the Wii with Joey on guitar,  Eva on Vocals and Hank on drums!

 A special treat for us was the cotton candy night.  Aunt Sue spun up some sugary goodness for us that we don't normally get at carnivals because of our allergies....and wow did we love it!

 Boat day on Lake Osakis!  Awesome pontoon boat and great weather!

 Not so good fishing...the fish finder said they were all around us but we could not seem to find them...

 2 Captains on this boat!

 Uncle Tony helping Hank fish....still didn't catch anything :(

 3 boys checking out the back...

 Another new captain...and some co-captains peeking around :)

 We had a park day, with more beautiful weather!

 Lots of game-playing...Hank with his buddy Joe

 The girls doing a little rock climbing

Too many kids!  The adults had no where to sit!

Great fun in Minnesota.  Thanks to Cindy, Joe, Thomas and Eva for keeping Hank and Mimi very busy on this leg of our tour!

Midwest Tour Part 1

This is the first leg of our Midwest Tour.  We left Atlanta, stopped in Nashville and then traveled on to a southern Illinois city.  Slept in a hotel and then made it to Davenport Iowa the next day.

Our Nashville stop was to the Antique Archaeology store where the American Pickers Nashville scenes are shot.  We love that show on the History channel and decided to stop in so we could say we had been there!

Hank did not want to pose in front of the store but Mimi did!

The whole building was incredible.  It was an old car factory and they have really redone it to look awesome and house several stores!

 We took a turn on the scale in the factory...It was all quite cool!

 Then off to Anna and Nathan's in Davenport Iowa.  We took in a minor league baseball game and they were playing the Kane Count Cougars (Grandma V and Grandpa V's team)

 We got bored so we walked around the park and watched the might Mississippi!

 And played on a playground that they had at the baseball park!

 The next morning we stopped at a grocery store and Mimi and I decided to walk together.

 And then the real fun began...a huge water slide in Anna and Nathan's backyard!

 It took Mimi a while to warm up to it but then she really enjoyed it!

 And squirted right back...

 And Hank LOVED it!

And then we were off to our next hotel stay in Clear Lake Iowa before heading to Osakis, MN!  And we passed the World's Largest Truckstop!

Thanks to Aunt Mickey, Anna and Nathan for a great first time in Davenport Iowa!  We hope to visit you again!
