Grand Forks

We had a wonderful time in Grand Forks. Our family plus Grandpa Heidt enjoyed the hospitality of the McGarry Motel for two great nights. William was a trooper with the long drive and was very well behaved with the exception of at night. He slept through the night once when we were in Grand Forks. Bad boy. He succeeded in charming everyone with his smiles, giggles and sunny attitude (no lie! Ask anyone who was there!) He even impressed us with sleeping through the fire works on the the 4th.

William had a lot of important firsts in Grand Forks. It was his first time in North Dakota, his first time at his great Grandparents' houses, his first time eating at La Capana, his first visit to Ben Franklin Park and his first night in the train bedroom. While we were at the park, William discovered that cars are fascinating to watch. He wouldn't look at the camera or anyone else if there was a car driving by. We had to get a little creative in order to get some pictures!

We also enjoyed seeing Grand Forks with Grandpa Heidt. Grandpa Heidt hasn't been back to Grand Forks since his wild college days (okay, I'm making up the wild part). It was fun to look at the University and visit places where he lived when he was going to school and with Grandma Heidt.

So happy to be out of the car!

My new favorite thing! Standing and practicing walking!

Can we convert TA?

William's second time at La Capana (we forgot our camera the first time). This is a restaurant Mommy's been eating at since she was a baby!
