The next stop of the trip up north.....Ash River Trail~Orr, MN

 
After the birthday parties we spend the day at Mom & Dad's house gearing up for the next part of our vacation.  Of course that meant cooking food and more food for the cabin my parents rented at Sunset Lodge in Orr, Minnesota.  But first ~  we had to get outside and take a little ride on Dad's 4-wheeler. 
Mauren's first 4-wheeler ride!

We went exploring Ash River...this is what we saw!   

Mauren's 1st boat ride!  She loved it - just enough movement
to make her sleepy!!

  • Has 8 teeth.  Four on the bottom, four on the top.
  • Favorite toys are books, books & more books. 
  • Weighs 20 lbs 8 oz.  50th percentile
