Minnehaha Falls
It was a perfect day!
As we traveled to Minneapolis, we played the ABC game and stopped at a corner bakery for a scrumptious midmorning snack. YUM! First we rented a bike. I did ALL the work. Katie tries to convince us that she steered most of the time. There is some truth to this, but what she fails to mention is how our lives were endangered during that time:)
We enjoyed some history about Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. He was the first settler in Minneapolis and wrote the Song of Hiawatha. I guess I didn't realize that Hiawatha saved Minnehaha from her father Nokomis. Interesting.

After biking for a (long) hour we slipped over to the bandshell/pavillioin where the kiddies performed a sit on the edge of my seat play, Little Red Riding Hood.
Finally, we made our way to the water!
