nasty clouds

On Friday, our little family drove down to Mountain Lake to the Miss Mountain Lake pageant. The skies of southern Minnesota scared our three children and invigorated them at the same time. K told us she wants to be a storm chaser when she grows up.

About the pageant. I think there is a lot of talent in Mountain Lake, but our niece Liana performed a beautiful song/guitar piece called "Hallelujah". It was really terrific! Another girl wrote and performed a piece of lovely music on piano. She was outstanding. She swept the competition. Miss Congeniality, talent and Miss Mountain Lake. Congratulations to all, but we were most proud of our Liana Marie and her shining smile.
