Minnehaha Falls and Fort Snelling's Pike Island Hikes

  We had a random warm day, Scott got new hiking boots and I love waterfalls. So a trip to Minnehaha Falls we went.   Will she ever get bored with waterfalls? Probably not.   Getting down any trail sure takes longer than before we had kids.  

Mankato's Minneopa Waterfalls and Bison in Spring

  Another weekend, another hiking trip. This time Minneopa State Park. We started with the Hiking Club Trail . The Hiking Club is a great way to get the kids excited about our hikes. Rather than just going out for a hike they're searching for the secret password along the trail.   Where there's rocks Meadow will climb. 

An End of Spring Break Visit to the Three Lakes Cottage

Meadow's on spring break so a trip to the cottage it is. The weekend called for rain, rain, rain but we don't care.   We all brought along our rain suits just in case it never let up. Even with just a drizzle Theo put on his suit right away. I think this is the earliest I've seen the ice off the lake. Should have brought our swimsuits. Brooke used to always be the first one swimming as a kid. Maybe Meadow, Brooke and Theo can keep that tradition alive. Me? Probably not. Theo must think his rain suit is completely waterproof. He went well past his boots.  

Frontenac Hike, Minneapolis Bike Ride and an Easter Feast

Meadow and I both had off on a Friday so we decided to make a day of it and go hiking.     We found a place to eat along the river in Red Wing.
