Falling for Minnesota...

...in Taylors Falls, MN! Over the holiday weekend we took the kids, my Mom and Dad to a little town about an hour away from the Twin Cities. Along the St. Croix river, it boasts great hiking, gorgeous views and a quaint "downtown". Glaciers once ran through the St. Croix valley, carving it out and forming amazing rock formations and incredible "potholes" - a very cool geological phenomenon. The kids loved hiking along and scrambling up and down rocks and shouting "echo!" into cavernous potholes (thankfully safely fenced by the parks service). It was such a lovely day and we finished up by heading down the road to ride the alpine slides and do some go-karting. Too darn fun!
