I have just been on a trip to Minnesota. I forget how much I love it here. I was able to spend a bit of time with family and friends. It was my mom's birthday, who I have to say looks fantastic for a woman 70 years old.
I also spent time with Marie and Ian. Ian is now three and a half months old. It must have been crabby time when this shot was taken.
Luna is gettig to be a big little lady. Here she is at three and a half. She thinks she is a princess. I believe that Cinderella is her favorite and she wants to wear dresses everywhere she goes.
I even saw some old High School friends one of which I have not seen since High School.
For My mom's birthday we went to Minehaha Falls. That is one of my favorite places. There is a great hike that takes you down to the Mississippi River from the falls.
But mostly this trip I enjoyed the lakes. I went for a run with my Aunt and we saw 4 lakes in a hour and a half run. We saw Brown Lake, Cedar Lake, another I can't think of the name of and Lake of the Isles. Here is a picture of Lake of the Isles with a great view of the Minneapolis skyline.
Then two days later I went on a run around Lake Calhoon
and I also ran up to Lake Harriet.
I don't know why I wasn't more of a runner when I lived here. There are so many great places to go running. A few of the lakes are so close that you can canoe many at the same time. They are connected by these cool water ways.
To finish up my trip we went to a dance in a hanger. They had people dresses up in World War two style, like these two...
and then they had thes bag pipe guys who where amazing that came to play for us.
It was just a really well done event. They had a live band and even had some professional swing dancers come and do a routine for us. Do we have anything like that in Utah? Here is Marla and me plaing near the war Jeep.
The only thing I regret is that I didn't get a chance to do any rollerblading around Lake Harriet. I guess that will have to be a priority next time.
