Quick Trip to New Ulm

We didn’t make it to New Ulm for the holidays – mostly didn’t want to deal with bad weather and treacherous roads. So we decided to travel in early April to see Joel’s family. The roads would surely be safe by then, what could possibly go wrong …?

This was the view as we headed up into Evanston, WY., about 90 minutes from our house – unfortunately, this same storm followed us for the two day trip to New Ulm!

Once we got to town, Joel was able to spend time with his Dad looking at stamps, we brought a Walleye platter meal for everyone from Turner Hall and had a nice dinner. Things sort of fell apart from there but we were flexible!

Joel got to see lots of family, friends, and we even snuck in a little birthday party for him at Janelle and Dave’s house.

We took a walk from the hotel – definitely chilly!
The nightly ritual of looking at stamps.
Schell’s Brewery in New Ulm is the 2nd oldest family run brewery in the US so of course we had to stop and take photos on our walk.
Brother-in-law Dave is an avid golfer – he didn’t know Joel was wearing this shirt when i took the photo.
Great evening together to celebrate Joel’s birthday! Thank you Janelle for letting us take over your kitchen!
Something like a triple chocolate Hershey cake – YUM!
OOPs, a little blurry!

The visit was pretty short but we were thankful to be able to see everyone. Ross, Joanne, Whitney, Dan and family visited the next day but I don’t think anyone got any photos – Next Time!
