Memorial Weekend - Surprising Grandma Becky & Grandpa

We went up to Minneapolis for Memorial Weekend to surprise Grandma Becky and Grandpa for their 60th birthdays. They had no idea we were coming so it was great to see their surprise when they walked into Uncle Mark's apartment. On Memorial Day the men played golf while Grandma, Amelia and Kate went to Como Zoo.

Flying Home

Despite cutting her top front teeth, Amelia did wonderfully on the long flight home.

Kate was happy that she got to watch formula 1 with "proper" commentary - apparently Amelia was interested too.

Grandma just about managed to resist Amelia's pleas for champagne.

Amelia spent the week working on her stair climbing skills.

Our plan was to drive to the Lakes for the day but Amelia decided she was not a fan of the car so we headed for the next brown tourism sign and wound up in a lovely village with a nature trail. A worthwhile stop on the way to Keswick.

Keswick

After planning on "lunching at the Lodore" we made it to Keswick at 3:30 - just enough time for a walk along the railway/river path and a play in the meadow at the other end.
