We just got back from a visit to Minnesota/Wisconsin to visit Bruce's family. We had a great time visiting his two sisters, his brother, and his 93 year old mother. The cooler weather was a great perk of the whole trip. We got some fun family pictures of all 4 of the children with their mother, ate LOTS of great food (all of you who know the Horken's will know what that means), and played lots of competitive games. If there is one thing this family knows it's how to have fun competing with each other.
On our way home from a lunch in the Fargo/Detroit Lakes countryside we stopped to see a 150 year old family church. Unfortunately, as we got back to the cars, a flat tire was spotted. It was a tough way to find out that the new car we were in did not have the right parts to the jack! We did find, though, that in small town America, tow trucks make service calls out to the country, and ended up having an afternoon we hadn't planned on. The weather was 70 degrees, it was breezy, cow were mooing and it gave us all "bonding" time.
Ah, sure, you betcha, we were on our way only 3 hours later, and back to another fine homecooked meal!
