Trip to Minnesota

Over the July 4th holiday, we flew to Minneapolis to visit Nathan’s sister Rachel and her husband Geoff.  Mom and Dad Polderman were visiting them, too, which was a great bonus!

Being the Florida-raised girl that I am, I was certain that the ‘heat and humidity’ that they told us they were experiencing was certainly not really hot or humid, so I packed jeans for the girls and me.  Let’s just say that our first full day there we sought out the local splash park.

Elisabeth was enamored…and Clara was enthralled.  You may be able to tell from her picture below that her Mama was not all wrong about summer in the North being different from summer in the South – the water is a whole lot colder!

The second day we were there we went to the zoo.  There was a beautiful old carousel that was the highlight of the park for Clara.  She was in tears when it closed for the day!
