Today we piled in the car and headed to Kellogg, MN for a tour of LARK Toys. An hour and a half drive, the views were scenic and the kids behaved well enough. Rolling hills, green fields, cows, and a few peaks at the mighty Mississippi River, a beautiful drive. One of the largest independent specialty toy stores in the country, LARK Toys is most known for their handmade heirloom wooden toys.
We rode the hand-carved Carousel - it was fast and played fun music. Grandpa thinks maybe the Merry-Go-Round at the Cannon Valley Fair will be a let down. We shall see... Believe it or not, I managed to spend $9.00 at the toy store...two rides and two lollipops. I did, however, get a few good Christmas and December Birthday present ideas.
When the "Empty Tummy Countdown to Meltdown" started, we jumped back in the car and headed to the nearest McDonalds. Kudos for them knowing kids don't like apple skins - their apple dippers come completely peeled! Once their tummies were full, all as was simpatico for the remainder of the trip back to CF.
