Tara and I tried to make it out to the Apple orchard near Stillwater, MN with the neighbors Ron, JJ, and Alla (sp?). Ashby, after visiting the Como Park Zoo the day before, had some terrible nightmares the night before, we think she was freaked out by the gorillas; so, she wasn’t up for the orchard, but later that day we visited the Coon Rapids Dam on the Mississippi river. It was pretty cool. The dam is actually these big inflated tubes that they deflate or inflate to facilitate water flow.
