Minnehaha Falls... so pretty in ice!

Picked up Halley... Had a great lunch with Amy G, Executive Director of Minnesota Life College and met their new Development Officer.  It's about 40 degrees... so it's comfy... This weekend, they'll be back below freezing!  
Took a little ride and checked out the falls.  Found a sweet parking spot... and then, as I got out of the car, I fully slide on the ice, going under the car while the camera flew in a snow pile.  I got a snow rash (like road rash) on my hand and wrist and wrenched my back/chest... Jerry commented that was one of the first legitimate falls he has ever seen me do... I asked if he was making a joke since we were near the falls... but no, he really meant it.  He says I tend fall where most wouldn't have a problem (and that is true, my mom called me "Grace" growing up cuz I was a klutz) but in this case... Anyone would have fallen there... ahhhhh, redemption, a legitimate fall... life is complete!  
The Minnehaha Falls themselves are gorgeous... Check the pictures further below and there's an explanation of the when the falls were dedicated... it's a hoot... do read it!
