Visiting Chrissy

Much of July we spent at Chrissy and Randy's in Minneapolis, Minnesota helping them...

strip wall paper, repair walls, and repaint the living room, entry, dining room and kitchen in their new house.

Of course grandma cooked lots of our favorite Filipino and Hungarian food to keep the workers happy.

To keep grandsons James and Owen happy...

we took walks around the block to parks ...

discovering trees that had been hit by lightning.

We walked across the Mississippi River to eat at a German restaurant...

and watched movies and attended concerts in the park...

while boats sailed in the distance on Lake Harriet.

We took a break to go to Lake Thirty One in northern Minnesota to sail...

explore with a paddle boat...

swim...

and ride behind a tractor.

We earned our keep by helping to install new screen doors on the sauna...

and leveling the dock.

The highlight of our visit was blessing grandchild 24, grandson 11, Owen.

Don't the parents and grandparents look proud?
