Minneapolis, Day Two

To be fair to Minneapolis/St Paul, the highways are very well thought out and easy to follow - much more so than any larger city I've driven in. However, we tended to enjoy time at parks more than anything.

On day one, we visited Snelling State Park, which is a large patch of riverfront and open space in the middle of the bustle of Minneapolis. I can't say it's quiet because the entrance is about 30 feet away from the airport, but it was very non-busy. We found the same to be true of our second-day adventure at... at... a lake! Blast, Sean's memory finally shows on the blog, how embarrassing.

Anyway, the boys spent at least half the time trying to shock each other by sliding down the slides very slowly and picking up static electricity. They also made a discovery about electricity and sand which I'm sure we'll see more about in the future, but for now it's the subject of secret government research.



Sylvia, on the other hand, spent a lot of time playing in the sand, climbing and running and generally being a happy toddler. She also posed for a couple of cute pictures.





I'm sorry we don't have pictures of the pretty buildings (the cathedrals were very impressive) or the Art Institute Museum (where they didn't allow pictures) or Black River Falls, where we found a Great Harvest! It would almost be worth it to drive up there again just for the bread!
