Annikka Crosses State Lines and Eats a Cheerio

We went to Minneapolis a couple of weeks ago for Rachel's wedding shower.

It was Annikka's first trip out of state and her first ever trip in an aero-plane. So we packed up Annikka and everything else, and headed for the airport:



Annikka did very, very well on the plane. It helps to fly first class (read: it helps to have a grandma who has racked up tons of frequent flier miles):



Once in Minnesota, Annikka got to see her cousins, Emilie and Rachel, and her Aunt Kirsten, again:







... and she met her uncle Mike for the first time:



Annikka had a good time at the shower (which was in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, my hometown):





That night she met our friends, Marc and Mia Hoyer:



It was a great trip: it sounds like the shower was fun; Annikka got to meet all kinds of people that are important to the Howe's; and I got to catch the Cleveland Indians in person.

Finally, here is a cute picture of Annikka wearing a dress that our friend Sonja made:



... along with a video of Annikka eating one of her first Cheerios. It's a bit long (she doesn't eat it until near the end of the video), but you should at least fast forward to that part ... I think it's hilarious.
