Home again!
Our last two days of tour were a fabulous
finish! We got to Chanhassen on schedule and had just an hour to wind down
and dress up for our dinner theatre. Beauty and the Beast was great and
the food was really good too! Wise restauranteurs had everything from
macaroni and cheese to fish and steak. 
Everyone ate
well. Shelby
Sievers (our Iowa State grad accompanist) traveled up to Minneapolis to spend
free time with us! She is a "perfect fit" for our group.
She loves fun and we love her! Check out her photo album at snapfish.com

We had a chance to swim in the hotel pool and to soak in the jacuzzi. On Wednesday night we got back from our concert performance JUST as the sky opened up and the winds blew in a huge thunder and lightening storm. It was very exciting.
Thursday's Mall of America excursion was great. We broke up into small groups at 10 a.m. and regrouped at 2 p.m. -- everyone spent money and had fun! Checking in at the airport was a mad scramble, couldn't have done it without everyone pitching in and helping with boxes!
