Minnesota 2011

Eric and Irene at a resturant in downtown St. Paul

 

On November 30th, Ed and I hopped a flight destined for St. Paul, Minnesota. Ed's younger brother, Eric, is going to school in St. Paul and my older brother, Peter, and his family work and live in the frozen tundra state. We had a great time visiting Eric's school. We are proud and impressed at how much he has grown as a musician. Ed's mother flew out to Minnesota to see us while we were stateside. We had a great time checking out downtown St. Paul, Mickey's Dining Car (from The Mighty Ducks), and shopping at the Mall of America. We also loved getting to spend time with Peter, Kate, Sarah and Louie. While we were in MN we had the opportunity to attend Louis' baptism.  Peter and Kate named us godparents! All in all, it was an amazing trip. We couldn't have been more homesick when we got back to England on December 5th. It has us reconsidering requesting an extension.

St. Paul's Cathedral, possibly the most impressive Cathedral we've seen outside of Europe.

We wore her out.

Sarah loves her Uncle Ed, and Uncle Ed loves Sarah!

Baptising Louie, that kid already has some impressive abs built up.  He kept doing crunches trying to get away from the water.
