| We drove to Minneapolis on Monday morning to eventually work our way to MSP for a Wednesday noon flight. The plan was for Carrie to meet up with a couple more friends. We spent a few hours at Ridgedale Shopping Center on our way into the city. There was an unbelievable display all done in Legos. https://usaevents.lego.com/en-us You can imagine how the kids loved that. Here is a huge example of the Capitol Building. You can see people standing next to it so that gives you an idea how big it is. This is taken from the floor above. |

| The kids enjoyed playing basketball at the motel we stayed. They giggled so hard when they got a BB caught in the net so threw up another one and it got caught too. They thought that was so much fun. I just sat there and listen to them laugh. |
 |
| We had an unexpected catch-up with some friends. The Gaalswyk's youngest daughter was arriving at MSP and two other daughters (with their children) were visiting so it worked out to meet them at Mall of America. We talked fast and furious and had a great time seeing them. Amy (in the white top) lives in Ohio and we have not seen her since Carrie's wedding 12 years ago. Stacy (holding her youngest) lives in Moorhead so we see her off and on. Zoe is Stacy's daughter looking at the display. |

| Tuesday evening Carrie meet two of her friends at the Galleria. The kids and I went along . We spent quite a bit of time at Creative Kids, ate at Good Earth and had a cup of yogurt while we waited for Carrie to finish with her dinner. Wednesday we made a couple of stops and then got them to the airport. I drove back to GF and they flew with one stop at DFW and then on to Abilene. We arrived at our homes at almost the exact time. |
