Oscar took his first trip to see Aunt Lisa and Uncle Brad's farm in Northern Minnesota. He also got to meet his cousins Hannah, Eiley and Sydney for the first time.
With a John Deere onesie and camouflage hunting cap (thanks Lisa!), Oscar blended right in. Here he is with Uncle Brad and cousin Sydney. Oscar was impressed by Uncle Brad's big tractor.
We visited Aunt Sally and Uncle Rick the night we arrived, and cousin Trudy put Oscar in a giggling fit.
Breakfast at the Bergs. We were a bit worried that Oscar wouldn't get any attention...

(The bib says: "lock up your daughters" -- thanks, Sydney)
Sydney (recent Luthern confirmee) and Oscar.
Hannah, Oscar and Kristi.
Young's General Store in downtown Middle River is a little-known American treasure. Where else could we find this pink lace-trimmed camouflage onesie?
In continuous operation for more than a hundred years, Young's is one of the last remaining general stores in Minnesota, packed to the rafters with hardware, home items, groceries, you name it. Their motto: "If we don't have it you don't need it". Read more in this Minneapolis Star Tribune article.
At Honkers Flat, a greenhouse and nursery, Oscar got to see lots of farm animals.
Auntie Lisa and Oscar with punk-rock chickens.
Oscar and Sydney with a half-ton pregnant sow.
Auntie Sally and Cousin Josh with Oscar at church on Sunday. Like Oscar, Josh has mysteriously lost his wrists too!
Everybody thought Josh and Oscar looked a lot alike.

Where's Oscar?
