Celebrating at the Plaza

Saturday the 26th we loaded Allie into our pickup and we headed cross country from Rochester to Nelson. Unfortunately we listened to our GPS and ended up taking curvy Hwy 60 back to Wabasha. There had been rain/ice the day before and the trees were frosty & beautiful. The roads, however, were not beautiful. It was a slow, slippery trip. We stopped in Nelson and had a wonderful visit with Grandma Bonnie. I was sorry we had to cut it short. We were a bit tardy getting to the Plaza for dinner at 1:00. Allie loves to spend time with Abz, Morgan & Emily (she was really missing Emily on this day)
I wouldn't let anyone have any goodies at Grandma Bonnie's house so they would eat a good dinner. Allie told me her favorite part of the meal was the cottage cheese. (She did eat lots of other things besides cottage cheese.)

Abby (or Abz as we call her)

Morgan & Allie enjoying some goodies and trying out the new stitching boards. I guess I only took video of time in the pool. I will try to upload that later on. (I haven't had much success uploading videos to Blogger lately.)
