While Jeff and Mitchell were taking in the sites of Chicago last week (those pictures coming soon), Joel, Grant, and I made the trek up to Northern MN. I only attempted the 3.5 hour trip because my mom rode with me both ways, sitting in the back, between the little ones, tending to their every need (which were MANY during the trip).
We mostly relaxed while in Hibbing, but Joel did much bouncing, thanks to a little surprise Grandma and Grandpa had for him when he got there. (see the pictures below). It was a good trip. Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for all the fun!
Bounce, bounce, bounce
Great Grandma Rose "Mama Rose" and George visited us many times while we were in Hibbing
Great Grandpa Mike and Great Grandma Mary Anne "Mama Mary Anne" made many stops to see the little ones, as well.
Thanks to all the great grandparents for making it so easy on us and coming everyday to see us. After that long trip it was nice to be able to stay in one place once we were there.

Bathtime, in the bathroom sink, with help from Joel
Exploring the water at Uncle Dan and Aunt Kathy's cabin at Harriet Lake
Swimming with Grandpa
Grandma and Grant on the dock
Uncle Dan showing Grant the sites at his lake shore
Grandma helping Joel throw rocks into the lake
And, just before heading home, Joel gets his third haircut from Grandma Jane. After watching her in action, I'm beginning to wonder if we should hire a professional one of these times.

Katie, Katie, Katie, where do you find the time to keep this blog up.
I just loved the slide show and the video of Joel. It looks like the guys had a great time in Chicago and I think Joel should try out for "Dancing with the Stars." Hopefully I will see you at your Mom's on Monday.
