After Tucson, the family couldn’t have moved to a more polar opposite town. Mankato, Minnesota was a frozen wasteland and Yohan took to it like a dog to vegetables. That is to say, he was slightly unhappy but managed to get through it.

The town was very quaint and safe, the boys would spend their summers biking around to their friends houses. Setting off illegal fireworks from Wisconsin, and generally doing what pre-teen boys do, which is cause mayhem. There are marks on the house from errant balls, carved initials on trees and marks were made on the inside as well thanks to the time there.
