Wedding Bells!

Congratulations to Bailey and Matthew!!  
     It was a beautiful ceremony and a fun reception. :0)  Pictures were not allowed during the ceremony and certain parts of the reception, but we were able to get some pictures to share.

Girls' Biking Trip

Packing up for our exciting adventure :)
Ready for lots of exercise and laughter!!

Next, a stop at Trader Joe's...

Then, a stop at the Minnesota Historical Society to see Dani and check out...
...which was AWESOME!!  

Having fun hula hooping!!

This exhibit brought back A LOT of great childhood memories!!

 Toys & games I remember playing with all of the time...


I still can recall the Christmases that I received my first Lite Brite and 
my first Easy Bake Oven.

 Who can forget Holly Hobbie?!

We finally arrived in Preston and began our biking trip by heading to Lanesboro.




Cool pictures taken by the owner of Minnesota Trails,
who was doing a photo shoot at our "resting and hydration" point.



We stopped for a treat at Pedal Pushers once we biked to Lanesboro
(a little over 11 miles there on the biking path).

Time to head back...


...which also meant relaxing in the hot tub!!

The next day we biked to Harmony (12.7 miles).

But first...Heidi and Paula went for a five mile run.



Checking out the history of "Rails to Trails"



Beauty along the biking trails...



BEST pie EVER at Village Square in Harmony
 (known as Julie's award winning pies)

Paula and Heidi tried the Rhu-berry Soda Pop.

The third and last day of our trip we did some shopping; 
Paula was ecstatic when she came across some rhubarb.

We ended up biking close to 50 miles and walking about 10 miles. 
What a fabulous trip we had; it was so much fun, 
and I can't wait for our next adventure! :0)
