First Carousel Ride and Playground

More Labor Day weekend fun...

Lark Toys says they are the largest independent toy store in the USA. I don't know about that, but they do have a beautiful hand carved carousel. Eleanore took a little ride, but she was pretty scared. We didn't sit on an animal that moved up and down, rather in a little cart that was being pulled by an ostrich!

We found a great little playground down by the marina. Eleanore liked watching the big kids climb around. She also really liked the little bouncy guy below.

More photos from our Labor Day trip are on our Mac Gallery (link to the left).

Labor Day in Lake City

We took a little road trip to Lake City, MN for the Labor Day weekend. We had a lovely condo right on the shore of Lake Pepin (which for non-MN folks is not really a lake, but a place in the Mississippi that the river widens out). We spent a lot of time just sitting on our balcony enjoying the view.

Eleanore enjoyed taking off one shoe and carrying it around. She also liked trying to put the shoe back on again. One time she was even successful!

On our second day we took a paddleboat ride on the lake. It is an old historic paddleboat called the Pearl of the Lake. We mostly saw the inside as we were trying to keep Eleanore entertained.
