Minnesota Vacation

Steve and I finally went on vacation. We decided to go to Minnesota where all of the Jasper extended family lives. I've only met four of them so it was high time to meet the rest. We had so much fun seeing all the tourist things and spending time with family. Most of our time was spent in the Duluth area so we were right on the shores of Lake Superior. It is so green their, trees are everywhere and the weather was great. It was 75-80 degrees the whole time and only rained 1 day. Here are some pictures of our vacation!


Steve's family play's this game called cribbage (never heard of it till I met Steve, but if I wanted to be part of the family I had to learn how to play) The Jasper's play for money and so here's Steve with his Aunt and Uncle- $15 is on the line!





Steve's Aunt took us around Duluth and we were able to visit the cemetary to see Steve's grandparents grave along with his two uncles.






This is a mansion that you can come and tour. It was built in 1908 and was so beautiful inside. If it was built today it would cost 30 million dollars!






This is the famous Duluth bridge. When the ships are coming in and out the lift the bridge up.

This was at Gooseberry Falls along the
North shore of Lake Superior.




This was at their ski resort. We did the alpine slide. The second picture is the mountain they go skiing on- they need to come to Utah!



We had so much good food, and saw so many other things. It was a great vacation!

Our First blog!

• I've been tempted by everyone else's cute blogs and have finally decided to enter the blogging world. I was also thinking this might work better than my effeort in trying to write in my journal (one of my New Year's Resolutions, every year). It might take me a while to figure out how to do this so don't expect anything too spectacular. Here are a few things Steve and I have been up to lately.

We went up in the canyon with some friends for dinner and they have some fun toys:)

Steve was the most popular kid their with his BB gun! Tayson also became Steve's new best friend.

This was at our nepew's (Jeff) court of honor. Ididn't get any pictures of Jeff becuase I was taking pictures for his mom. I did get some of me and Steve!

Steve doing what he loves best, eating sweets!
