Last weekend we flew to Minnesota to visit extended family. Grandma and Grandpa J, and Mandy and Jon came along too. We stopped at the Mall of America on the way and got in some shopping and a few rides before heading down to Granite Falls.
We visited Grandma Arlyss' old house (which cousin Barry is now living in), and Rylee played in the corn and bean fields.
So many corn fields!
We stopped at a playground and Rylee had fun sliding with Auntie...
and swinging with dad.
Rylee got to meet Grandma Hazel for the first time. Stan, Mary and Diane (Marcia's siblings) were also there.
Grandma Hazel loved watching Rylee get into everything in her apartment!
We had Rylee baptized in Grandma Arlyss' church. Grandma played the organ, and cousin Brett did some readings during the service. She looked adorable in her little white dress!
Cousin Brett and Auntie Mandy were her sponsors.
After her baptism, Grandma Arlyss had everyone over to her house for a party. Rylee got to visit and play outside.
She loved playing with the grasshoppers! (RIP this little guy... Rylee doesn't know her own strength!)
Rylee had coffee with Grandpa Willis every morning.
And she learned to play piano!All in all, we had a wonderful trip. It was great to see relatives that we hadn't seen since our wedding. A special thank you to Grandma A for having us and showing us such a fun time!
She is so cute in her white dress.
