Our time in Minnesota

My Mom and Darrell's house.  I spent my high school years here.

Active Minnesotans, path around Lake Harriet.  The bike and pedestrian lane are 2 different trails, smart.

We spent 8 days in Minnesota, staying with my Mom and Darrell.  We visited a lot and tried to help as much as she would let us.  Her yard is so beautiful this year.  Last year she was unable to work in her yard because of her back and leg pain but has joyfully got back into the yard this summer.  It really shows!  We visited with family, walked around Lake Harriet nearly every day. My sister Melanie and brother-in-law Tom had us over for a delicious dinner.

It was great to spend the time we did in Minnesota, seeing family and not having to pack up each day or every few days.  The food and laundry facilities were wonderful too!
