While we were in Minnesota...we went and STAYED at my parents house. That was the plan from the beginning, because it's just too hard to constantly pack up and move from house to house and city to city. This was so nice and relaxing to just be at one place and not do all the running around. My parents are both home all the time, and it was GREAT for Klous & Aysha to be able to play and spend time with them. They live on 20 acres in a little town called Swan River, MN...which is 20 miles out of any "big" city...(which is only like 8,000 people maybe)...so it's not a really BIG city!!
Anyways...it was nice growing up out there...ya it was a "LONG DRIVE"...but not really...we figured since we were coming all the way from Utah...it wouldn't hurt to have people come to us!! So that's what we did!!
When we got there, Klous was so fascinated that there were NO fences..."Mommy...Papa's house has NO fences"...that was cute...he could just run free...play baseball...jump on the trampoline...ride his bike...and do whatever he wanted!!!

These pictures are from when we first got there...I think the kids were just happy to be OUT of the car!!! Aysha watched while the boys played baseball!!

Klous liked to go for walks too...I looked out one morning and Daddy & Klous were on top of the woodpile...how cute are these pictures!!!


Papa has a 6-wheeler too...Klous didn't want to go for rides with Papa (???don't know why???) but he'd go with Mommy or Daddy...so here's Mommy driving and Daddy in the back with Klous...

We went to the gravel pit to get some rocks for Klous...


Then headed to the lake so he could throw them...

He's such a boy!!!

It was SOO nice and relaxing to be out there in the middle of no where...to just listen to the quietness!!! You forget what that's like when you live in town!! Thanks Mom & Dad for letting us stay there and letting Klous PLAY!!! I know I'm grateful you have that place and the peace and quiet that is out there!!!
