Big Times in Minnesota

We finally got our own cable and wifi, so I'm back online. Turns out you can get month to month service, so that's what we've done. Thank goodness. I don't think we could handle many more episodes of the Minnesota only PBS station.

After the whirlwind of activity on our trip out here, life is pretty sedate. We've been working here in MN for about a month without too much excitement. The area is beautiful and they aren't kidding about that 10,000 lakes thing, but there's not a whole lot to do.

But don't worry, we've been able to entertain ourselves with finding large statues. It seems that nearly every town has something. Here's a sampling. Each place seems to claim their statue is the "world's largest ____". I'm not going to argue about it. These things are big.

World's largest Otter located in a park about half a mile from our campground. World's best husband standing next to him for perspective and because it's fun to have your picture taken w/a giant otter. Fergus Falls is the county seat of Otter Tail County and the Otter Tail River flows through the county and beyond. All the way to Canada, we've been told. Or it flows here from there, more accurately. 

Giant loon in Vergas, MN. Actually the species is called the Vergas Loon. The other loon is Chris. He's a loon lover. 

Giant clothes pin. I don't know why. 

Giant coffee cup at same location (random gas station along the road) as the giant clothespin.
