The Cali cousins arrived earlier this week, and today we finally got to head north for visit. They spent some time visiting Grandma and Grandpa, and hit up the farmsteads and Pat and Darrell even stuck around to watch the Viking Day Parade.  The day was spent laughing and listening to stories.  When the West Coast and Midwest collide, it's definitley a picture worthy weekend.  So, where are all the pics??  Hmmm??  They would tell a better story... 

(Ok - I dropped our beloved iphones in the lake.  AP's is dead - and a replacement is on the way.  He was unexpectedly OK with losing his direct connection to work.  I was stunned by the lack of stress - especially considering my phone was on the fritz, too.  But, after a night in a bed of rice, and some quick internet suggestions, my phone will be up and running by tomorrow.  So, no pictures of our weekend, yet.  I'm hoping to pirate some from Cindy - who had her fancy camera and was snapping away...)
