A weekend road trip

We went to Minnesota last weekend for my uncle's wedding.  This is the first time that both boys stayed in a hotel.  I wasn't sure how that would go because Owen generally won't sleep anywhere but his own bed (except the car).  He was fine.  We spent the weekend swimming and I showed all of them some of the places I spent a lot of time at growing up.  They went amused me by riding along but no one really cared.  We drove up to my grandparents old farm, stalked out old house, drove around Wabasha, and ate pizza at Papa Tronnio's which I hadn't had in probably 25 years.  That was probably the one thing they all enjoyed.

My new trick when Owen isn't listening is to pretend to cry.  It usually gets his attention and makes him nervous.  He comes over, hugs me, pats my back, and says "it's ok, my Mama".  Mean, yes, but effective.
