whirlwind trip to the south

On Saturday morning, Katie and I left River Falls early, met friend Julie at the Ren Fest for a few hours and then drove even deeper southward into Watonwan County to the county seat of St. James, Minnesota to see Grandma B and hang out with her for the day.

Julie won tickets to the Ren Fest so we enjoyed without having to pay the entrance fee. It was really fun to people watch and she caught some fun photos of the occasion:

Then we drove to the World's Largest candy store where we got some yummy treats...also very busy.

Lastly we made it to grandma B's where we hung out, visited, had delicious lasagna, took a walk around St. James and then hit the haystack. 

Sunday morning we got up, had breakfast, went to church with Kurt and Grandma and went to lunch at the Hometown. Then we parted ways and we drove back up north for the week. 

It was a fun adventure and I thank everyone for making it special!
