In honor of the end of the school year/beginning of summer, I thought I would post a photo from one of the infamous Hanson family road trips. This one took us through northern Minnesota and into Canada. We travelled deep into the earth in an iron mine, visited Lake Superior, saw huge fields of sunflowers, and the city of Winnipeg. It may not sound like much, but I loved it! So here’s to all our summers – the longest and most memorable ones may be in childhood, but they’re all good in my opinion!
