Tara Larson, California girl hits the small town!

Tara lands in MN - ready to rock!

Last weekend my girlfriend Tara Larson from Thousand Oaks, California hit the Minnesota soil to visit and see where I grew up!

She showed me she was ready to go when she came off the plane wearing this raccoon hat! Surprised? Not one bit!

It was a blast for me to watch her experience Minnesota - everything was so new to her!

She shot her first gun (a bb fun), she watched my nephew Drew get a morning dove, learned about Chief Wanonga in Battle Lake, wild rides (sitting on the hood of the car while my dad drives fast), Bargain Bazaar, accents, lakes everywhere, the most interesting little "fights" with my dad.

I'll never forget as we drove through Melby and Tara looked at me with the most serious face and said, "How are you so well rounded?"
I couldn't stop laughing!

Here's just a quick snapshot of a few pictures of her visit...
