A highlight of Minnesota is the lovely splashings of lakes and groomed parks scattered like dandelions blowing in the wind across the green state!  This particular lake is free and one of my new friends from our church ward invited me.   It is fabulous as it goes like 50 feet or so at a shallow rate, and parking is free.  My new kindly friend invited a few other families, and it was a good time.

Two weeks later or so I invited all out again, and everyone hopped along and came.  This time we got some nice nibbles on our toes and fingers from tenacious fish, and Rawl borrowed toys from neighboring children, which I watched moms take away from him.   Should have been me I suppose but he was playing nicely and was just kinda joining their group, so I didn’t object.  I knew it could be much worse!

This pitstop is also awesome for a woman about to pop any day now, when I got my hair and ears wet as I dipped in last time, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven.  :)~
