St. Croix Scenic Byway

We took a drive along the St. Croix Scenic Byway on Sunday. We stopped in a town called Pine City, where we ate lunch and I was able to stretch my legs.

We ended our day in Stillwater, MN. 

I got to splash in the river a little bit.

The water was really high, and it covered a road that runs next to the river. Good thing these people have an amphibious vehicle. (The road that runs next to the river goes under the bridge, where the car/boat is driving.)

Mill City Farmers Market

Me, waiting for the kids from the American Indian Magnet School to perform. 

"This music and dancing is fun!"

Mill City Ruins Park

Mississippi and gigantic lock

Me, passed out with my hand in my snack cup and Cheerios everywhere. Sometimes sleep overtakes me before I even know it.

My first skinned knee.

Views from the Stone Arch Bridge.

"How do you make Mom and Dad really nervous?"

"Do this..."

"By this..."

Last Cold Day

"Mom, please promise me there won't be anymore cold days at the playground. I enjoy playing, but I'm ready for some sunshine and shorts."

Another Day, Another Park

"Mom, put the camera down and get me out of my crib already..." 

"Please."

"Ooh, new swing. I wonder how this one works. Mom! Push me!"

"Maybe I'll stick with the regular swings at the playground. That other one spun around too much and made me a little dizzy."

"Look! Birdies! Quack! Quack!" 

"I want a closer look. Why are they hissing?"

"Duck face!"

"Wee!"

"Oh, I guess it doesn't go as fast as I thought it would."

"Still fun, though."

"Fun enough even to go down over and over and over and over..."

"Vvvrrroommm!"

"Does this bike make me look tough?"

"Or does it make me look silly?"
