Weekend Family Time

Chris suprised Audia and me by staying in MN an extra day, and leaving for IL Monday instead of Sunday. It was so nice to have a whole weekend with him! My parents were on vacation in Grand Marais, so we got to spend a quiet weekend just the three of us, which was much needed and very appreciated.

We ran errands, went for walks, hung out in the back yard, and had a picnic at Arneson Acres, which I haven't been to since probably 2002....I used to hang out there all the time with my friends in High School (and the summers I came home from college), and it's just as pristine and picture-perfect (and quiet!) as I remember it. It is so funny to me (funny interesting, not funny haha) that such a gorgeous park exists and yet no one ever seems to be there when I go. When I was in HS, I always said that if I got married in MN, it's where I'd want to get married. (and our friends, J and A, did get married there last year!) It's an amazing spot for photos!
