We all arrived safely to the condo in St. Paul















Waiting for the bus to bring us down to Harriet Island.






























We listened to some great music (Young Dubliners & Dropkick Murphys). It was a little loud to be talking on the phone.




























































Connie dancing up next to the bag-piper from Dropkick Murphy! She is so funny!






























Sheep herding dogs.
