We're back from our lovely 2 weeks in Minnesota.... We had a great time! We have so many photos, I'm not sure where to begin with sharing them here. Unfortunately, neither Gary nor I had our cameras handy for Dave's graduation, Mom's birthday celebration, or any of the events from our weekend in Minneapolis/St. Paul. My sister Melissa got a lot of good photos with her camera there, so those events won't go undocumented. :)
Just a quick story to share about Gordon: We were on the road and Gary was discussing the one-eyed eagle we saw at the Great Plains Zoo in Sioux Falls. Our one-eyed cat, Olivia was mentioned also, which led to conversation about staying out of the street.... Gordy's responses were cracking me up in the seat ahead of them, but when Gordy heard me laughing, he stated, "Mommy, you not laugh at that eagle. That kinda mean." And he said it quite respectfully, though concerned about my lack of concern for the unfortunate bird. Gary and I both got a chuckle out of his words, and then had to explain that none of our laughter was directed at the eagle. We're proud of his empathy and tender heart. :)
