Early in June, we ventured to MN for a week of vacation to see Ahma and Ahpa. We spent some time in Coon Rapids but also made our way north toward Grand Rapids to hang at the lake house. The Opperman clan (Keith, Kristin, Gavin and Ella) all met us there! It was great to have the cousins together again, a blast was had by all. While back in Coon Rapids, we played hard with Aunt Jenn, John, Uncle Mark, Aunt Maggie and cousin Jack. This trip was a real success and we had a great time, a nice mix of leisure and adventure. The mosquitos weren't terrible but definitely made their presence known. The ticks and nightly tick checks in GR were something new for us Coloradoans, not exactly Nevi's favorite's part of the trip. Unfortunately, Ahma and I found an imbedded deer tick in Nev's arm pit one night but it was easy and early removal so all was well (tick checks were talked about by Nev for weeks after this trip because they provoked such fear in her!). But other than this, we were quite comfortable in the cool and moist midwest climate. Thanks to all for a great time with lasting memories...
