Lots-o-Stotts

We just got back from Itasca State Park -- home of the Mississippi River headwaters and beautiful red pine trees. Daniel and Abby loved the great outdoors and both were fine travel companions, including the 5.5 hour car ride. Unfortunately, Abby's trip was rudely interrupted by a bout with the stomach flu, but she rebounded nicely!

Daniel is a big fan of walking sticks and even walked up to a hiker and attempted to steal said hiker's walking stick. Here he is holding his own mini version of a walking stick.

Abby loved walking across the headwaters of the Mississippi and did so SEVERAL times!

Daniel and Abby pose with Noni and Granddad in front of the CCC built cabin in which we stayed.
