Christa and I traveled together out to Minneapolis from July 18-22 to meet the amazing Zoe and hang out with Jerri and Mark. Jerri and Zoe picked us up at the train station near their house and as soon as we got home, I started taking photos and Zoe pretty much didn't get put down the entire weekend. Here she is waving Hi:
Even with a baby in tow, we managed to do so many fun things. I wouldn't expect anything less from Jerri, mom and hostess extraordinaire! Here she is with Zoe at Herkimer, a local brew-pub where a bunch of folks met up after the rained-out portion of Mark's birthday softball game:
On Monday we walked over to the Walker with high hopes of playing mini-golf at the artist-designed mini-golf installation, but it was closed. We did enjoy the walk and Christa and I got to explore the beautiful sculpture park while Jerri and Zoe rested on a nearby bench. It was a gorgeous afternoon. Here is one of the most famous sculptures, Spoonbridge and Cherry, with the skyline in the background:
This is a garden and trellis also in the sculpture park:
And Christa's eagle eyes spotted this little critter in the hedge. It's a 13-striped ground squirrel, also known as a gopher. Pretty cute!
Even after being pushed all over town, Zoe still had some giggles left in her. She really is quite the smiley baby:
Here they are, the Wagners Three, pretty much ready for bed after a fun day and fun weekend! It was so nice to get to meet Zoe at such a young age and to see Jerri and Mark in the roles of Mom and Dad. They're a great family and I can't wait to visit them again.

Oh my goodness! Great shots. Not the best one of me at the end, but oh well, motherhood is sometimes a humbling experience (especially in photos)! Thanks for posting. Hope you have a great week! It was so great to have you here! Jerri
Okay...so that first entry was supposed to be from me, not from Mark. What a weird photo he has for his blogger i.d. Anyway, love ya!
I was just thinking that about the photo. How funny. And it was funny to think of Mark saying "motherhood is sometimes a humbling experience".
She is going to grow up so fast, just like Meadow. I hope your move planning is going smoothly
