First swim? Check!
The last weekend in June, we ventured to New Ulm (and St. Peter), MN for my cousin Tim and his bride Sara's wedding reception. We stayed in New Ulm where Graham got to experience his first swim. We had the hotel pool to ourselves which was great, and Graham seemed to really enjoy his swim! I thought for sure it would be too cold for him, but he never fussed and seemed truly fascinated by the whole process.
Another fun part of the weekend? Visiting Schell's Brewery. Graham did a great job venturing around in the Bjorn.
New Ulm is a really neat town and the brewery is set on a hill among beautiful gardens and historic buildings. We strolled around on our own a little before the official tour began.
Which, by that time, it was mom's turn to wear Graham since Aaron was actually interested to listening to the tour guide. Weird.
Grandpa Richard was on the tour with us.
We eventually cleaned up for the reception.
It's also worth noting this was our first night in a hotel as a little family. All went very well and he slept great in the Pack n Play. This was the weekend after the camping disaster so we were just happy there was an actual roof over our heads.
And before leaving town on Sunday, we cruised around New Ulm a bit and visited Flandrau State Park where there's a pretty cool sand bottom pool. Graham dipped his toes in and I have a feeling it's a place he could have a lot of fun in a year or two.
Pit stop at Dunn Brothers Coffee in Alexandria on the way home. Bottle for Graham. Iced coffees for mom and dad. On the patio. Thanks, buddy, for forcing us to stop and enjoy the outdoors a little along the drive home.
