We watched the bridge lift to let the boats pass...
Checked out a yummy candy store that Trish worked at in high school... this lady was making cookies and cream fudge... it smelled SO GOOD!
Kate trying to steal candy...
This was an old mill they converted in to offices and shops...
We hit up some great mexican at Nacho Mama's... it was seriously tiny in there and the waitress kinda forgot how to be efficient, but I really liked my food!
I had the baked enchilada... the other half was really good when I got home too... the thing was huge!
Cory had tacos... they were deep fried upon the waitress' suggestion... He said they were great but he wouldn't deep fry them next time...
We hit up the teddy bear park after lunch to run the kids energy out... that is a massive granite teddy bear... the kids loved it.
They have a lot of old time advertisements still on buildings, it made me laugh that the gum had a "purity package"...
This mill is a famous Stillwater landmark...
Tanner loved watching the police dog demonstration...
The lumberjack demonstrations... they raced up and down these posts, the guy on the right touched the post 4 times with his feet on the way down... crazy!!!
This kid is the son of the guy with the microphone... he was dang good at the log rolling...
On the way home, Trish and Andrew took us by their favorite ice cream shop... This was the kiddie size... again, what is with the monsterous scoops around here? Sam was kind enough to put that cup on top, yes it is full of ice cream! But it was good, well, what I was able to consume... I can't vouch for the rest, but I would assume it tasted the same.
Kate crashed before we made it to get ice cream... I guess that she had fun!
I thought Stillwater was a really cute little town, it was settled before Minnesota was a territory, so it is kinda old... Lumberjack Days didn't quite live up to my expectations, but it was fun to get out and see another part of Minnesota and hang out with some awesome friends! So I am trying to figure out tomorrow's plans... I think it will be a little more low key, we are getting tired. Anyway, enjoy your last few weeks of summer, we will be posting pictures of apple picking and football games before you know it!
