Off on a lark
Last weekend was Waterski Days in our beloved Lake City, Minn., and so several cousins headed there to celebrate in various ways. Your scrapblog editor trekked south with niece Hannah Miller and Hannah's pretty much identical friend, Amanda Nelson. Some scenes from our day trip to the Lark Toy Factory in Kellogg, Minn., a family favorite:
Trying on groovy hats. Which one of these people is 52?
More cool hats on cool heads, Hannah's and Amanda's.
Above and below, Amanda and Hannah rode the carousel to calm themselves after being roundly beaten by Aunt Pam in a hot game of putt-putt.
Seeing this post, and the video, makes me have happy tears as I know how much Lake City and these places and traditions mean to you and your family. Happy 4th of July, Pam! Love and hugs, Brinabird
