Simon's First Trip

Recently, we took Simon on a whirlwind tour of Family and Friends. There are some new galleries posted, feel free to take a look:

We started off celebrating Nancy's mother's 70th birthday. First at Red Lobster in Sioux Falls, then at Aunt Lisa's house in Garretson. That was very nice, and it was good to see everyone... well almost everyone anyway. Get home safely and soon, Auntie Brenda!

Next, we headed up to my parent's lake cabin, where Simon got to meet some more family, this time on Erik's Mom's side. I'm finding that I need to do a better job of getting pictures taken. There are some introductions that have no record other than memory. Oh well, I'm sure once Simon becomes famous and getting hounded by the paparazzi, we'll be wishing there were fewer photos being taken.

Another thing we discovered on this trip, spending time at the lake cabin is quite a bit different when you have an infant. I'm really looking forward to next year, when he might enjoy himself a bit more.

To cap off the trip, we went to Minneapolis to go to Erik's cousin Marc's wedding. It was a very nice wedding. Congrats, you two. Also, Simon had a couple of firsts on this leg of the trip. He had his first boat ride, since the rehearsal dinner was on a boat cruise around Lake Minnetonka. He also had his first stay in a hotel room.

There were lots more details about the trips that I'd like to share, but not enough time to go into it all. Thanks to all who helped us during these trips, we needed it ;-)

Until next time... Erik
