How Minnesota enjoys 80s in October: The day in photos

If a picture is worth a thousand words this would be the longest blog post I've ever written.

There's no way I can adequately describe in words what 83 degrees in October feels like to Minnesotans, So rather than a bunch of Meteo-babble, I'll show you instead. I hope you savored your own little slice of heaven Monday.

Enjoy!

One more day at the beach! Family soaks it in at Deephaven Beach.

Color splashes everywhere.

Tree swing anyone?
