Over Easter weekend, the family had a chance to travel up to Minnesota and see our families. We took off on Thursday night and headed to Glencoe to get a jump on the three-day visit. Friday was a gorgeous day and we (Fred, Cathy, Jacob, and Jon) enjoyed the warm weather by going on a walk with the red wagon – still going strong after 30+ years! After church, we spent some time with both Great Grandma A and Great Grandma Jean. It was a pleasure seeing both of them and having a chance for a more personal visit (as compared to family holidays).
Saturday morning we met Teresa at the Minnesota Zoo and spent some great time looking at all the animals. The weather was a little rainy, so we mainly stuck to the indoor/protected areas, but there was plenty to see. Later that day, we parted ways with the Werth’s and headed to the Degen’s. After mass on Sunday, we had a great feast and a exciting Easter Egg hunt in the downstairs (as there was still snow on the ground). While Henry was a little too young to participate, Jacob had a great time searching for the dozen eggs (I’ll see if I can get the video up…but it’s a bigger one).
In the meantime, enjoy these shots from the Saturday trip to the zoo:
