From inner-tubing to playing in the backyard, watching the Twins play and watching cousins play, our nearly two-week visit to Saint Paul and nearby environs was a blast. Otto, Nolan and Zadie made ruckus hourly, hardly slept in past 5:30 am (well, that was mostly just Zadie) and read dozens of stories. Cold beers for the grownups and home-made popsicles for the kiddos in the hot, humid weather. A few showers, but no thunder and lightning (darn it!) Nolan caught his first fish and Zadie fed the dogs ("Suki - eat it! Hoo-goo - eat it!") Otto wanted to get knocked of the inner tube, then he didn't, then he did, then...well, you get it (he did finally go for it while riding with Tim.) Everyone took a spin in the inner tube, even Zadie (with Mumsie) and Nolan, having seen Otto go solo, went solo! We also hit the zoo, per usual, and hosted a few "pool parties" in the backyard with the plastic pool filled up with the hose. After usually doing that in San Francisco, it was a much better experience in warm weather, mostly for the adults who keep getting splashed.
Can't wait for next year!

It looks like a great time was had by all. Cousins, boats, fisherpeople, flying friendly skies, water, tubes, beautiful kiddos, goats etc etc.
Thanks for sharing.
Great photos!! Thank you. Love the one of Nolan and Zadie fishing -- she is doing a terrific job. Nolan very brave going on the raft alone. Can tell you guys had a *wonderful* time -- plus everything is so green.
