Last weekend we went to Minnesota to visit our friends Luke and Cortney and their daughter Laney. Ben and Laney played very well together, with Ben usually moving too fast for Laney to catch up. It seemed that Ben's walking coaxed Laney in walking, as she took her first steps while we were there.
Our friend Katie and her friend Tom came over Friday night and they were entertained by the kids.
On Saturday, the weather turned warm (40 degrees), so we walked around a lake close to their house.
This is an armchair carved in snow out on the lake.
This is a sofa on the lake.
These people, who we assumed carved the furniture, are playing croquet on the frozen lake.
Here, Ben and Laney are ready to get out of the car.
Ben got Laney a Valentine's Day present, which was a matching shirt.
