Pictured are Grandpa Burton with a wide-awake Magnus and Grandma Paula with a sleeping Magnus.
Little Magnus made his first trip to the Johnson family farm in northern Minnesota last week! Although he didn't go 4-wheeling, swim, canoe or explore the wooded banks of the Clearwater River, or meet any creatures (fox, deer, beaver or birds), we know that in a few short years he will do exactly that. His Grandpa Burton, Daddy Jason, Uncles Brian and Garett and their friends have all experienced the beauty and excitement of "The Farm," and the river that winds through it. Jason, Brian and Garett will show Magnus where they pitched tents, built campfires and camped overnight on the river's edge.
Since Magnus is only a month old, he won't be camping for a few years, but it will most likely be an event he will look forward to and also remember fondly. Uncle Garett brought several of his buddies to the farm for snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, swimming and exploring the river, but we blinked our eyes and Garett grew up. Since December 2008, he's been training with the USAF, so has not been to the farm for a long time. Garett will be home in less than three weeks, and will finally get to meet his nephew; plus it's nearly the start of summer, so no doubt there will be some activity just below the Johnson farm home... in and around the river.
What a handsome young visitor you had! I bet he smelled good too!! Sometimes I pop in on some of my followers, it is nice to meet you! My Husband retired from The NDANG after 26 years back in 1998. We used to live in North Moorhead back in the 1970's..we have a daughter that was born in 1972 also!! :)
