Grand Rapids Weekend

We traveled to Grand Rapids, MN for Bryan's Grandpa Blaine's wedding. He married Barb at St. Joseph's Catholic Church and it was followed by a reception and dance at the Eagles Club.

On the drive up, we stopped at a small pizzeria in Aitkin and had lunch. We checked into the hotel and then Dad and Sophie checked out the pool and water slide. Sophie did great at the short wedding ceremony (minus a couple of loud "la-la-las") and reception (she especially enjoyed the rolls and corn).

Here's a picture of Dad and Sophie swimming. Sophie is really getting used to going under water.


Post-swim, drying off and watching Dad go down the water slide a couple of times.


Here's a group picture of the Hanson and Erickson families.

Labor Day Weekend

We went to South Dakota over Labor Day weekend to meet baby Cameron, the new addition to the McMillan family. Cameron Kay was born early in the morning on September 1, weighing in at 9 lbs 3 oz. She is such a cutie! I loved holding her and smelling her. Sophie has been practicing saying, "baby" when I would tell her that we were going to visit the new baby. We also went to Falls Park and took some pictures there. Sophie did well on the car ride and slept well in the hotel room. Playing with Dad in the hotel swimming pool probably helped to tire her out.

I love this picture of Carter holding his new baby sister. They are just adorable!

Dad and Sophie enjoyed the pool at the hotel.


We visited Falls Park and it was a beautiful morning for some pictures.
