Minneapolis

As mentioned in the previous post, we headed to Green Bay just before the Labor Day weekend for Jeff's Grandpa's funeral.

The good part about events like these is that the family gets together. Grandma and Grandpa Koski got to see both grandkids at the same time!

Bennett and Nora got along famously, as usual, and Nora was especially interested in the arcade games at the luncheon.

We headed to Minneapolis for the Labor Day weekend as originally planned. Nora was curious about her cousin Croix, but was more interested in her own activities most of the time.

Here, she eyes him up...

and touches his nose (she is very interested in noses these days).

We headed to the farmer's market Saturday morning

where Nora enjoyed some milk.

Then we went to the Como Zoo where Nora enjoyed the monkeys.

We finished up the morning at the conservatory where the plants and koi pond were so tempting.

Sunday morning we headed to Lake Calhoun for a walk and to visit with friends Heather and Troy. Jeff and Michael enjoyed the view.

Sunday evening we visited with more friends. Nora made some new friends, Chloe and Ben, who are twins just 3 weeks younger than Nora. How many one-year-olds can play with one push car?

Nora and Uncle Mike, strolling. Monday morning we went to the Teddybear Park in Stillwater and took lots of pictures!

What a great picture!

Mike and Emily came up with so many fun activities for Nora; we had such a nice visit. And Nora couldn't have been a better traveler!
