Fun In Minnesota

Saturday, we visited the Mall of America, a little shopping (Dan got some magic tricks, Blair got some souveniers, I got some clothing and had fun in Brighton), a little eating (Tony Roma's for lunch and Coldstone for "dinner") and a little fun (a hall of mirrors and mini golf). The drive home was miserable, since the van my folks lent to me has no AC and it was warm and very humid.

On Sunday, we visited Heritage House and Dairy Queen. In the evening, we picked up dinner at Roscoe's (drive up BBQ), and listened to a free concert with the Smitherines.

Monday, they went bowling. That evening we picked up some groceries at Target and had dinner at Applebee's. Afterwards, Blair visited the local barbershop chorus, the Rochester Music Men and had fun!

On Tuesday, Dan and Blair went to Niagara Cave in Iowa, where they got soaked sluicing for minerals outside in a downpour. Later, it cleared up, and we went to a Honkers baseball game. Lots of fun food there, hot dogs, potato bites, mini donuts and funnel cake fries. The team won their playoff game. They also won last night, so tomorrow they have a game against another team, and we're planning to go.

Wednesday, they guys went to the Quarry Hill Nature Center followed by go-carting at Skyline Raceway. We had dinner at Dos Amigos.

Today, they hung out in the apartment until after lunchtime. Then they met me at the clinic and we took a tour of some of the amazing art they have here. They came back again (with the dog) at the end of the day and we visited the street fair they have every Thursday.

It's been lovely having the guys here, but I know I'll fall apart when they leave.
