i distinctly remember the first time i met this young man. though he was young, he was by no means a man that point. he was a teeny tiny little guy. i always loved when his mom came to visit, she was always full of laughs and fun, and she loved mickey mouse and i thought that was the best. this time instead of just one child, she brought two… {and soon three, then four… and so on 😉 } now my little cousin DJ is going into his senior year and is significantly taller than me {which was made very apparent when i realized i didn’t have my trusty step ladder}. thanks for showing me a beautiful part of minnesota and putting up with all the pictures.
