Carsten and I were able to enjoy Minnesota for a couple of weeks. We went to Park Rapids and stayed at my parent's lake home for a week, which was great. It was a little chilly at first, but warmed up. We went to Walmart and had to buy some shoes besides sandals. It was great to see all of his cousins and he learned he loves green tea and juice boxes. It was also nice to see the Hasbrouck family and meet sweet baby Carter. Carsten was ecspecially lucky because he was able to be with the Ellingson family side too and meet Kayla, Kyren and Kayden. The Miller family, the Rich family, Mitch's mom and grandma all were together. Carsten was able to see what is in store when he gets older and learn how to play as many games as possible. We went on lake Minnetonka on an absolutely perfect day. It couldn't have been more beautiful out and it was so nice to see water and boats. Thanks to everyone that let us stay at their home. We had so much fun and I am lucky Carsten is such a great traveler. Well, the flight home wasn't so good, but he was great the rest of the time. It was been so hot here, so we can't spend too mcuh time outside. Last weekend we went to the zoo and did their starry safari, which is at night. It is a little cooler at that time and we saw some animals, jumped on the bouncer and Carsten played in the water splash park. But, his favorite part was the carousel with daddy.
