We are discovering that the state of 10,000 Lakes has its own kind of beauty. Plush forests with lots of green vegetation and farmlands everywhere. You can tell it's well watered land. After meeting up with our good friends from Boise whom we hadn't seen for at least five years, we began to understand how harsh the winters are. If you don't embrace them with some kind of sport or way to distract you from the cold, the winters can bring depression.

This is the Stich's and the Orth's. We played softball together and mingles our pets long before children arrived. They both drove distances to meet us and play at the lake. The newest Stich member is Matthew. Almost gave me baby fever...almost.
Summer however is a beautiful season.

This place is awesome!! It's almost torture to "preview" the mall, but I needed to see if I could navigate the city, parking lot and mall. Turns out I can, but I'm not very patient without my needed partner. I have to learn to do this stuff without Matt when he needs to work, but I don't like it. I was so stressed out that I needed a "nacho" and "blizzard" break. Don't be surprised if I'm 20 pounds heavier when we return.
Two days later, the rainy day dictates that we go back, so we take on the mall of America. A couple of great hints. Avoid all weekends! It is crazy busy and the parking is outrageous. Another hint. Parents with children under 48 inches can ride most of the rides without paying but just by being the chaperone. This can save you quite a bit of cash. I didn't know this until I read the small print. The cost for the five of us to go,with our Subway $7 discount per ticket, was still $137. I must say though, it was a well needed break from getting lost in the city and the headaches of RV repairs.
Slushy break.
