Wayzata/St Boni MN - Great bike trail

 
























The bike trail from beautiful downtown Wayzata to Saint Bonifacious MN is a great ride - another old rail line that has been converted to a biking/walking trail.  It is a great way to take in different parts of Lake Minnetonaka plus many of the towns along the western side of the lake.  

A very active trail for lots of different activities.  Other than the ongoing Canadian smoke in the air a perfect day to be out in Minnesota - got an early start to get ahead of the  rest.

Stillwater MN - Hanging at the lake with the twins

 







It was a hanging at the lake day with the twins - both of them and the rest of us.  Rhea, Vinny and Link came for a lake visit on a super hot, humid day with Mom, Dad and Grandma Nancy.  

Anna accused me of "Dennis Bootcamp" with the boys - they seemed to survive it - hehe.

Saint Paul MN - Hanging in the westside







Another volunteer day - easier than the last one but still a hot, humid day.  Lots of great personality in this neighborhood in Saint Paul.  

Stillwater MN - Celebrating Jimbo and John

 




July birthday celebration day.   Finished off a long day of driving with a birthday dinner stop in Stillwater.  Pizza and ice cream cake - perfect.  

Wisconsin - Cemetery hopping in central Wisconsin

































Adventure day with Greg.  We had a list of stops and added a few more to make for a complete day of cemetery, church and several town hopping - Cashton, Saint Mary's Tomah, Sparta and even Pepin.  One hot humid day so more time in the car was better than time outside.  Missed most of the rain that came through the area.  One fail, otherwise hit everything else on our list for the day.
