E, Grammie and I left for our trip to North Dakota bright and early on Friday Oct 13th. Yes, Friday the 13th. AND this is not the first time I've flown on a Friday the 13th. Went to Ireland in Aug '04 for Julie P's wedding! Anyways, a bit of a bumpy ride landing in Winnipeg, but nothing major! We found out why it was so bumpy landing once we exited the terminal to get our rental car though! The WIND was incredible. and COLD!
We made it to Grand Forks in one piece and met Nanny Mitzi at her apartment. She has a very nice place and seems quite happy there! We then went over to Auntie Jeanne & Uncle Dick's house where we stayed the weekend. We enjoyed some great food, company and walks to the neighbourhood park! E even made a friend at the park "hey buddy, hey buddy, you wanna race cars?".
Auntie Bobbie met us at Jean's and Nanny Mitzi, Grammie, E and I headed to Bemidji, MN to see Bobbie & Jon's new cottage. It was beautiful! E especially enjoyed the toy room.
The next day back in the car to go to Fargo, ND. E and I stayed at Jennie & Jai's house. E had a great time playing with cuzzie Jacob. They raced cars, tortured poor Baxter (dog who weighs about 5lbs), told Michael he wasn't allowed playing with their stuff, watched Wonder Pets, read books, had lunch and games at Space Aliens, in general, had a great time together!! Jen and I had a shopping day together - no kids! the Grammie and Nana babysat for us while we checked out Target, the mall, and party store (see my next post for E's Halloween costume) and lunch at a really fab Italian restaurant! It was so nice to be able to shop in peace!
The last night there, Nanny Mitzi, Bobbie, Grammie, Jen and I went out for a deluxe, delish dinner in downtown Fargo! Yummy! Poor Jai was left at home with the children. But, he handled it well, they all seemed to go to bed without any major problems!
Thanks guys for having us ! Remember, next time it's your turn!!

what a great pic of Jeannie and Vicki! I hope you send it to her. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Makes me a little homesick. :)
Hey R,
Have many more pics to put up, but Blogger was taking way to long last night - will hopefully, get the rest of them done tonight. Yes, Uncle Dick took same pic of J & mom.
Enjoyed having you all for a visit. Was fun talking and eating and shopping. Think Nanny loved seeing everyone and being around the kids....do think she was ready to go home to peace and quiet tho !! Kristi was disappointed that she couldn't come up. With Becca in school now she can't just up and go. Ryon heads home from his latest bsns trip to Europe(London, Nice, Helsinki, And Sweden) Would love to have his frequent flier miles!! Ran to the mall to complete a few errands before leaving for Phoenix tomorrow and slipped and fell....call me grace!! Fell on my knees and caught myself with my left hand....JOn says I broke my knuckle(of all things) on myleft hand pinkey. OI VEY THE PAIN!!!!! JOn splinted it and feels a little better. Very bruised! With age comes clumsiness!??? This sure makes typing a little more difficult... ASuntie B
