Grandson's Christmas adventure

December 30th we loaded up 3 of the 4 grandsons and headed out for an adventure. First stop was at Great Grandma Reese's new home in Gaylord. We missed Christmas Eve with Mom this year because of a snow storm. This was the third Christmas Eve we missed with her over the years and it simply didn't seem right to not be with Mom or go to church in Winthrop for the Christmas Eve service. Yet our visit was fun since we had the 3 boys with us.
After Gaylord we made the long trip to Kellogg Minnesota to visit Lark Toy Company. First off we ate at the toy company and then took a ride on the hand carved carousel at the toy company. Conner rode a gold fish, Ayden rode a 10 point buck, Seth rode a loon and Papa rode a bear. The giggles were fun to hear.
After the toy company we went to Wabasha and had fun in the pool at the Americinn. Everyone slept well that night.
The next day was the highlight of the trip. We all enjoyed a visit to the National Eagle Center. The pictures tell the story. The boys got up close to the eagles - closer than they ever thought they would ever get to an eagle. We also saw many, many eagles around the open water on the Mississippi in Wabasha.
We then headed to Otsego to Stephen and Klair's home to meet Sarah and Emily who were bringing Jenna and Aubrey to meet us for the girls adventure and take Seth and Ayden back home. The boys had a great time and so did Papa and Nana!!!
Merry Christmas Boys!!
