Minnesota Trip

Though it has been many months since I went to Minnesota to visit my cousins, I am just now posting the pictures.  Grandchildren always take precedence over other events.  Anyway, it was a memorable trip reconnecting with my eight cousins who live throughout the state.  I rented a car and drove north to the places where my parents grew up.  I visited the St. Joseph's church in Thief River Falls that my grandparents helped build and walked the cemetery in Badger where my mother's family are buried.  I came away feeling very blessed to have such wonderful cousins and so many great memories of summers in Minnesota.
