Lanesboro Stone Mill Suites

We took a trip to Lanesboro and stayed at an old mill that was converted to a hotel. The girls were excited to sleep in the loft and bike the Root River Trail!

Moon Festival

We are celebrating the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival by eating lotus and red bean mooncakes, sending good wishes to family, and waiting excitedly for the lunar eclipse.

Lake Nokomis

A beautiful evening in the city.

Pine Tree Apple Orchard

Heard 100 times today: "How does my face look? Is it messed up?" They'd leave it this way permanently if they could.

Party on the Prairie

Richardson Nature Center's Party on the Prairie = climbing wall, admiring raptors (Willa made an "I love birds" shirt for the event), catching bugs, dancing to Bluegrass, playing with friends = perfect evening.

Windy

Two girls and their kites.

Cocktails at the Castle

Cocktails at the Castle (Swedish Institute): A beautiful location, lots of ABBA, slacklining, yummy food and drinks, a Chinese yo-yo artist, human marionettes, an aerialist and an awesome time with friends.
