Minneapolis, Day One

Our family travelled to the fabled land of Public Radio, Saint Paul, Minnesota a couple of days ago. Noel flew off to Oregon to be with grandma and grandpa McMullin for a family reunion, and what were we to do without her?

Well, on the way, we ran into this...



Deb couldn't resist posing, since she'd been trained as a discus thrower in high school by her coach father. How's the form look to you? Pretty good, I'd say! (I can say that - I'm her husband).

We stopped in at the Minneapolis Children's Museum, which is a huge glass-and-steel building downtown. They tried to make it look like home for Sean, but unfortunately, like usual, he sat with his eyes closed most of the time! We've got to work on that fellow.



And finally, there was the dress-up area which everyone had fun with. Our pictures didn't turn out terribly well, but here's Asher demonstrating his ability to smile with one side of his face.



We figure it's the effect of smoke inhalation from all the firefighting, and are working on rehabilitating him at the moment. Tickling plays an important part in rehabilitation.

We dropped Noel off at the airport, and spent some time at the lake and the Oakdale Temple as well, but the camera did not come along so you'll just have to imagine how stupendous the airport was. I love airports! :P
