Summer Road Trip II

Franconia Sculpture Park

Shafer, MN

 

There is always something new to climb in...

...on...

 ...or a round at this ever evolving park...

We revolve around each other...

Pretty sure these guys believe the world revolves around them...

...total mayhem.

This one.

This is the one who makes the most noise.

In an alternate universe across the St. Croix River at Interstate State Park in Dresser, WI is where we find camp for the night...

We set out in search of the mystical pot holes...

This trio of naturalists are side tracked by a scenic overlook...

 Whoa! Check it out...

A pot hole that was formed thousands of years ago.

Started with a little pebble...

 Duuuuude...

Beauty surrounds us...

...and so do wieners...

We roast some over the open fire...

One protects her pack from the looming dangers...

 Ending with some night runs.

On your mark... Get set... GO!

Up & at 'em...

 Zooey girl is ready for her morning walk.
(like she gets one on a regular day. ha!)

 Boys in the Wood(s)...

They dig all this rock!

The torrential downpours cut our time in the park short...

...Lucky found some wood to gnaw on in Cumberland, WI...

 Here comes the sub, here comes the sub

And I say it's all right

Here comes the sub, here comes the sub

It's all right, it's all right

...after the rain stops we grab a little lunch in Spooner, WI...

 Never come between this man & a taco...

  Zooey is living up to ALL the stereo types...

 Three amigos in a Go-Kart.
Waiting out the rains. Again...

 Axel's screams of excitement can be heard all the way around the track.

Yippee Ki Yay!

 Passing through Shell Lake, WI...

 ...to Grandpa's cabin for a little rest & relaxation on the lake...

Nobody can escape these two monsters.

They will follow you wherever you go...

 
Then it's always their turn...

She's like an unstoppable torpedo (burrito?)...

Lucky Days in Luck, WI

 Street Food...

 Street Dancing...

 ...and tractor pulls...

Let's get this Mickey Mouse party started!

3 of our best years! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

 Blow out the candle!

 She's a real party animal!

...and somewhere in MN on our way back to our own

Home Sweet Home...

What a long strange trip it's been...
