Lake Calhoun - #8,531 of the 10,000 lakes

On Saturday August 18th, we visited Lake Calhoun.  It is located in the city of Minneapolis in a trendy very expensive neighborhood.  It is a lovely lake with a bike and pedestrian path around the entire lake.  There were people everywhere.   One thing we have noticed about Minnesota that we love is that the people here love to exercise and be outside and moving.  So we rented two canoes and proceeded to travel from Lake Calhoun to several other lakes that are connected thanks to some canals that were dug in the early 1900's to allow passage from lake to lake.  We saw turtles, and lilypads, and plenty of other canoes, and even a man painting on the shore.  It was so picturesque.

After canoeing, we found a park and some grass and had a picnic.  In one of the pictures you can see how tired my little family was!!  Ha Ha.  Canoeing must have worn them out.  It was a great day.
