First Letterbox of the Year!

We had so much fun this past Saturday visiting Chris' family. We had planned on going the Saturday before Easter to celebrate Easter with them but Chris came down with a massive migraine so we postponed it for this weekend (April 14 and 15). It was a beautiful day so we thought we would show his mom what letterboxing was. The box was in a little town called Maiden Rock which we knew she loved anyways and had been wanting to show to us. So it was perfect! And what was even better was we found it! It was right along a little creek with a small waterfall. Linnea decided to throw a stick in and had a fun time watching it float the same direction we were going. Afterwards we headed to Red Wing to have some pizza for lunch and then got back to his mom's house with some time to get Linnea down for a nap. She slept for nearly 2 hours and we needed to wake her up! I think it helped that auntie Alli and Papa Dave came home so we could bribe her with their presence to get her moving. She just loves them! We also were going to get ice cream at a cute little ice cream shop a few blocks from their house. It is called Flat Pennies and I know I will be wanting to go there everytime we visit! There is an old caboose used as a Bay City visitor center and "dining car" for the restaurant. When we were done with our ice cream we said our goodbyes and headed home. We can't wait to go visit again and do another letterbox, have more ice cream and catch up with the family! Chris and Linnea had an evening at home (well a short one, since we didnt get home til 7:30!) while I went and played some games with friends. All in all a great way to spend our Saturday!
