Minnesota Adventures

We recently took a trip to Kansas, Minnesota and Missouri to see Patrick's parents and grandparents. Isabelle was very excited to go.


She took a liking to her Grandpa right away. This was his first time meeting her as he was shipped off to Iraq two days before she was born.


Soon she was showing off her "jumping off the chair" trick to everyone that would watch..


At times this didn't work out too well...


Patrick and I had fun playing with his dad's guns


Russ, Patrick's dad, soon joined in and we all had fun aiming at targets and shooting into the cornfields


Not one to be left out, Isabelle decided to come and join the party.


Of course shooting is a lot of work, so Isabelle was sure to keep up her strength by eating lots of veges...


It was colder up north then it is here in Texas, but Isabelle stood tall in the face of old man winter and refused to shiver...



Isabelle had a great time renewing her bonds with her great grandparents as well...especially great grandpa's hair.


When it was time to leave, Isabelle decided to take a chance and cement her title as champion bullrider of Minnesota...
