Vacation 2011

Our annual vacation started mid-July this year.  We got in a visit to Arlington, hosted some visiting family and even squeezed in a trip to San Diego for a vacation from the vacation.  Mixed in there was a fair bit of cleanup from the July 1 storm that felled a tree on the garage and another against the house.  The rest of this summer will have a slower pace as I recover from a hernia repair surgery.  I had initially thought that the repair from last summer failed but apparently the issue was with a brand new hernia nearby.   Anyway, recovery from this one is going much better than last time.

Here are some photos of the trip over to Danbury as well as our visit to see the Wiemanns and Posts in Arlington on our first weekend back.  Enjoy!

A Visit to Grandma and Grandpa Wiemann’s

Happy New Year Everyone!  We wish everyone a healthy and happy 2011. Today’s gallery is of our visit to Arlington, Minnesota to visit Grandma and Grandpa Wiemann.  We stopped by the Mall of America a couple of days after Christmas (won’t make that mistake again) where we saw Yogi Bear in 3D (our first 3D movie in the theater).   Nora was not overly impressed but the producers of the film clearly nailed the demographic that Kai is smack dab in the middle of.  He couldn’t have enjoyed it more.   After the movie we went to an overcrowded Build-a-Bear workshop where Kai and Nora blew their Christmas money.   Enjoy the pictures!
