Rodeo/ Iron Mine Northern Minnesota 2011

This vacation took us up to the Northern part of the great state of Minnesota. We left on this vacation on July 28 and we arrived back in Mankato on July 31.

We toured the birth place and house that Judy Garland grew up in.

We thought it would be fun to pose as the characters from the movie the Wizard of Oz. :)

We also toured the Minnesota Museum of mining in Chisholm, Minnesota.
 We went to the rodeo in Effie, Minnesota. We had a lot of fun at the rodeo, we all felt like cowboys and cowgirls in our cowboy hats we bought while shopping at the gift shops.

We made our way to look at trains and machinery that was used to transport iron. We all  got a chance to sit in a 220 ton mining truck, walk through train cars, and visit the train gift shop.

We had a succefull and fun trip up north and it was great to see what Minnesota has to offer.
