In Minnesota

In the land of the gophers, vikings and more Lutherans than you can shake a stick at, Olivia continued her vacation of her firsts.

It was chilly (below 80 degrees) so she wore pants for the first time. She went to Target (which is headquartered in the Twin Cities) for the first time. And second time. And third time. There was a lot of time spent at Target.

She went to the mall for the first time. And watched her mother shop for more than one hour. I think Benny was shopping for a Favre Vikings jersey at the time.

She went to the Minnesota Zoo ... her first zoo adventure. Here she didn't get to feed the giraffes, but Grace, Ava and Luke did.


Most importantly she attended her first wedding reception.
