State Fair!!!

Jeff and I went to the State Fair today. It was kind of chilly today. Of course, since it was a Saturday there were A LOT of people there. We can't pass up a chance to go and eat whatever we can find "on a stick." We have to get a bucket of cookies at Sweet Martha's every year, but this line (or shall I say mass of people) was ridiculous. I ended up finding a way to sneak to the back and get in a shorter line. Overall, it took us a little over 1/2 hour to get our cookies.

Jeff tried bacon on a stick- something new to the State Fair this year.

Another one of my favorites at the State Fair is a corn cob dipped in a big vat of butter. Yummy!!!

On our way home we stopped at the Sculpture Garden in Minneapolis- gotta love the cherry and the spoon!

Tour of southwestern MN

Jeff and I went on a camping trip the end of July. Earlier in the summer I had decided that we should go see Pipestone National Park.

I didn't realize that there were waterfalls in southwestern MN.
We stopped in Redwood Falls and went to the park to check out "Redwood Falls."

We also stopped in Walnut Grove and learned all about Laura Ingalls Wilder. (Jeff and I had lots of time to watch Little House on the Prairie this summer). Here is the fireplace from the show.


Here we are at the waterfall in Pipestone National Park. (This is where the Indians would get the red stone to make their peacepipes.)


We had a great time camping at Lake Shetek State Park, biking and hanging out!

Lee Family

Dad turned 60 years old on July 9 and we had a surprise birthday for him over the 4th of July weekend!

Here we go! Let's give it a try!

Hello! I am taking a Technology class here at school and we are learning all about Web 2.0 stuff! Jeff and I really enjoy getting updates about Gavin and family by using their blog! Even though we don't have kids or a dog there may be a few things you might find interesting about our lives.
