As usual, we had a busy weekend down at my parent's house.
We drove back Friday afternoon after work. Back at my parent's house, we had a nice meal of fish, shrimp, asparagus and coleslaw with my mom and dad. Luckily, Stine was gone because she hates fish and all fish odors.
Saturday, the guys went fishing. It was super windy and they didn't have the best luck. But they enjoyed getting out in "their" new fishing boat.
Mom, Stine and I went to the Minnesota Marine Art Museum in Winona. It was an interesting place, especially for such a small town. They even had a few Monet's and a Renoir among other notable Impressionists. Stine and I got sicking of seeing so many paintings of boats, ships and sailboats though. I think my favorite part was the National Geographic Simply Beautiful photography exhibit. I think even Adam, the art museum hater, would have enjoyed that part.

It's worth an hour or two if you're in the area.
That evening was my little cousin Joey's birthday party. It was fun to get together and see everyone on my mom's side of the family.

I loved his gold mine ice cream cake that they put together. It was so clever and detailed!

Sunday was my cousin Lanette's baby shower, which was the reason we came down for the weekend. It was nice to visit with all the ladies on my dad's side of the fam.

And the brunch food was delicious! There were even "Faux Mimosas" - orange juice & Canada Dry
Once again, the guys fished all day. It was beautiful out and the fish were actually biting.
Back at my parent's, we got packed up and enjoyed the beautiful day. There was even a little surprise we discovered in the yard when taking Chester out-
