Minnesota!!


We just returned from 8 wonderful days in Minnesota. A couple days were spent up at the trailer with Mom & Dad Gold on Lake of the Woods (note Aubrey's 25" walleye). It's always wonderful to get up to the lake whether the weather's ideal or not. Steven's fishing skills have obviously improved as he was slayin' the crappies with Dad! We got lots of time in with family and friends including several days with nieces Michaela and Danielle which was priceless. The trip was timed so we could participate in Nick's graduation festivities and Kali's bridal shower too. Family threw us a "bonfire baby shower" a couple days before we left. It was a super evening of lots of friends, family and 20+ foot flames that kept the guys occupied! One of the truly priceless gifts we received was an embroidered prayer from Aunt Steph. Malcolm and Aubrey had the prayer in their room as small children and she managed to find the exact pattern and make a new one for Baby Sak. So, Michaela and Danielle will have the original for their room(s) and Baby Sak (and future siblings) will have one for theirs! Steven got in a couple of days of fishing in as well and caught quite an array of species: sunnies, perch, crabbies, walleye, redhorse, tulapie and saugers too!

  1. It was great being able to spend time with both of you on your visit. Congrats on catching the big fish on both outings Aub ... perhaps they can sense the motherly bait.

  2. It was pure joy having you kids home for a whole week. Dad & I loved every minute of the visiting, fishing, cribbage, cooking, parties, cleaning, chaos, etc.... love you & miss you already, Mom
