While the rest of us were feeding the goats,

he just couldn't help himself.

This is how we found him!!!

From August 25th to September 1st, I had the opportunity to take Ella and Noah to Minnesota to visit the NessNest. The last time we visited Minnesota was in January. It was below zero and everything was covered in snow. But not this visit!!! Everywhere was a lush green. I saw the true beauty of Minnesota. I see why Steven and Salena look forward to spring and summer every year. I had a very laid back vacation. The kids just played and played and got disgustingly dirty!!! But boy did they have fun. I can't wait to go back......as long as it's not in the winter!!

NessNest,

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for your hospitality. I am deeply saddened by the fact that we are unable to see you more but am so very thankful for the time we do have together. You all are blessings from God and I thank Him everyday for having you in our lives. I hope you know how much we love you and miss you!!! Thank you again :)

With Love, Espinoza Family
