Minnesota - girl's weekend

 Another amazing girl's trip to northern Minnesota.  It's been such a blessing to be able to do this for many reasons.

At least it's not snowing this time!

The 'cabin'

I go with 2 girls I've literally known since 3rd grade. 

Downtown for lunch, bloodies, pull tabs, and shopping #beerback!

Girls Weekend

I debated on whether to post these. I reserve this blog for mostly the kids. But sometimes, mamma gets to have fun. We've gotten this amazing group of girls that get together. It started with my 40th bday, but we had so much fun, we had to do it again.  I gathered a bunch of girls from different parts of my life, not sure if everyone would be okay with hanging with strangers, but everyone just MESHED and we had so much fun, we had to do it again.  My sister came down, Rachel flew in from Colorado, Courtney came in from STL, and the rest of us were from KC.  We rented this awesome house in Columbia, MO.

We had a while elephant gift exchange.  I brought Chad here, he was a hit...

Amy's white elephant...wolf tattoos 

Long running joke that these two are best friends, I get rather possessive, so I don't think it's funny

There were 2 stray dogs there the whole weekend, they were awesome and just added to the house. 

Is she the cutest or what?!
