a quick shot of the summer

Catching up and decided to post some pictures of the Bear from our visit in July. I flew into Omaha and we did the round trip drive to the Cities for a visit with Anne and the Apple River. I think Laurel got through 8 or 10 books during the week while she waited for the new Harry Potter. We took our annual trip to the Minnesota Museum of Science in St. Paul (see the lab coat) and a day of tubing down the Apple River. Almost lost her glasses, and then almost lost her, as she fell off her tube in the final set of rapids. Luckily, I had my super powers available and nabbed her from the gates of death....the Apple can be diabolical. The picture from Anne's back porch should be blamed on either Anne or Char...who had the idea for s'mores can be debated. We only had them after dinner twice that week...addicative.
