Fun with Cousins

My sister, brother-in-law, two nieces and nephew came to visit at the end of July. We met them in Minneapolis for an introduction to the Mall of America and the craziness that is a theme park in the middle of a mall. We also spent some time downtown Minneapolis exploring the Mill City Ruins Park and the Stone Arch Bridge over the Mississippi. I don't think Lexi really connected the fact that we walked across this same river at its headwaters a few weeks earlier. We went on a quest at the Mills Ruins park, which led us into a fun week of trying out geocaching. We failed at our first attempt since it was stuck inside the pole of a street sign, but had a few other successful attempts. Needless to say the cousins had a lot of fun spending time together.
