Fabulous nieces, fabulous weekend

The scrapblog editor spent this past weekend in lovely Lake City, Minn., with nieces Mo and H.B. An excellent time was had by all. Here are some of the things we did:
Went for walks to see the sights in Lake City and put our heads together to solve the world's problems ... ... hung out down by the pier, just like the middle-aged cousins once did ... ... admired the pretty sailboats at the marina ... ... visited the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, Minn., and learned all about bald eagles and their habitat ... ... examined the innards of large fish native to Lake Pepin ... ... played putt-putt at the Lark Toy Factory in Kellogg, Minn., where Mo got a hole-in-one at Hole 6. Oh -- my -- GOSH! But it should be noted that Auntie Pam WON THE GAME! ... ... explored great literature at the Treats & Treasures store in Lake City ... ... spurred the local economy by purchasing dubious items such as spray candy ... ... and gummy rattlesnakes ... ... applied mud masques ... ... visited Mavis and Joe, who took this photo, which makes the nieces look like winged angels ... ... and hung out at Pam's pad and watched movies and ate delicious food. They also took a moment to stop at Mile 64 on Hwy. 61, where Grannie passed away on April 24, 2006, to plant an "A" Scrabble letter in the tall grass. We think Alverna would have liked that idea.
