We are Finally Unpacked!






We have been home for over a week now, and I am finally done unpacking. We spent 3 days in Ann Arbor, Michigan for Greg's brother, Jason's graduation from Michigan. We came home for two days before we left again for Minnesota for a week. That week was capped off my MaryAlice's graduation from the College of Saint Benedict. It was a great few weeks, and while I would love to write all about it, but I fear that may never happen, so here are some of the highlights of the trips I can remember.

MICHIGAN
1. Greg's brothers, Chris and Jason, are twins. Mary LOVES twins, as two of her best friends at school are twins. She cannot belive that twins can look different. Chris and Jason resemble each other, but are far from identical. However, for three straight days Mary could not get the two of them straight. Up until we left she was calling Jason "Uncle Chris" and Chris "Uncle Jason." Could make for an interesting psycology experiment.

2. Pizza with the entire family after Jason's graduation. So much fun! The best part was Jack was not his usual self, meaning he was friendly and playful with his family, even though he doesn't see them often.

3. Watching movies with Uncle Jason at the hotel. Jack teaching Uncle Jason how to operate the IPad afterwards.

4. Getting a great view of the "Big House." Even though we are NOT Michgan fans! Goooo IRISH!

MINNESOTA

1. Mary trying to tell a completly inappropriate story about Aunt Liz at lunch after MaryAlice's pinning.

2. Going out on the boat, and seeing Mary catch her first fish (or guppy). Thanks Ben!

3. Nickelodeonland at Mall of America.

4. Seeing the kdis interact and play with their cousin Timmy, who is Jacks age.

Hope I will have more time to go into detail. But overall we all had a GREAT time.
