Signs of Spring

Spring in Minnesota

It's time for the now second annual trip to Minneapolis for the Y Regional Swim meet.  We drove up on Thursday and are staying with my sister, Steph.  She made this great squash chili and date bars. Yum!  Then on Friday she dragged us out of town to the Afton State Park for a hike.  The scenery was beautiful, but I am out of shape!

Steph took us in her new ride.













Oscar wants to know if we are there yet.

















 
Afton State Park is located on the St. Croix river.
This makes for beautiful views from the bluffs.
This also makes for a lot of up and down hiking.

It was a beautiful warm day.













The river is getting back in its banks. 
I love water reflection pictures.
















So many paths, so many decisions.
