Fourth of July in Minnesota

Travis came to visit me for the Fourth of July weekend. (This is also known as Canada Day weekend, so it was quite a meeting of cultures.) It was so great to see him, and we had a wonderful time seeing the sights.

What trip to Minnesota is complete with a visit to the Mall of America? Here were are at Lego Land, just before riding one of the roller coasters.

I also introduced Trav to my good friend, Tennille. I think my fortune was much better than hers!

Taste of Minnesota - a change to check out MN cuisine (which is apparently entirely made up of cheese kurds and corn dogs) and watch the fireworks.

Sinking on the Titanic was never so much fun.

We were so proud of finding a great spot on the grass to watch the fireworks. But note the tree in this picture? The best laid plans...

Hope everyone had a great fourth of July!

Looks like you guys had a great weekend! I'm pretty sure Tom and I made ourselves sick eating too many cheese kurds (aka greasy fried globs of cheese) at a festival when we were there for Finn's christening.

We were just talking about that last night! It was the Irish Festival - much better than Taste of MN. Although still with cheese kurds. :)
