The Frozen Waterfall

We finally got some SERIOUS cold here in Minnesota. It's about time! ..... Marco was starting to think that we are all telling tall tales about our horrific Minnesota winters.

On sunday Marco felt like going out for a walk. I was a bit dubious since it was -26 with windchill (that's -32 for you celsius folks). But we haven't done anything outdoors for awhile so I agreed. We tried to go to the state park on the Mississippi at Fort Snelling, but we got lost and ended up at Minnehaha Falls Park.

Here's when you know it's REAL winter - the ENTIRE waterfall was frozen. A big rushing waterfall solidified in motion.

I love Minnesota!

There was bright sun and icy pure blue sky and snow. We wandered around the park for about ten minutes until all our extremeties and thighs and feet ached with pain and quickly hobbled back to the car. We got home and had hot cocoa.
