Spring Break

Last week was spring break and a lot of people went south.  We went north.  But there was sun (and lots of snow!)  The river is still frozen, although starting to break open in a few places.

We walked along the logging trail which smells heavenly!

En route from the river to the lake, we spent a day at the Paul Bunyan waterpark.  The hot tub has a little "doggy door" that you can swim through and sit outside in the snow surrounded hot tub - we liked that!  We sat at our favorite coffe shop near the lake to watch the Twins baseball game.
The lake still had 4 feet of ice on it so we were able to take a walk out to the island.  Mark and John tried a little ice fishing but everyone seemed most happy just laying in the warmth of the sun!
We had an extra day when we returned home and spent it at the MN Zoo.  My favorite exhibit is the Grizzly Bears - this one just sat and watched me take her picture.  Such a massive creature!
And then it felt good to be back home, ordering a pizza and watching movies together.
