State number 46 was MINNESOTA, but not really, we were just driving through to get to real state number 46 WISCONSIN! State of cheese! In Wisconsin we went to St. Croix National Scenic River. It was extremely scenic with a colorful array of wildflowers. I did the Junior Ranger program and we explored the river a bit - not enough. We really needed to bring our own canoe or kayaks and spend a few days, but there were mosquitoes the size of mini-coopers! It was so bad that layers and layers of mosquito repellant couldn't hold them off and we are still scratching! Wisconsin, beautiful, but itchy. State number 47 was MINNESOTA! Really this time (I am not allowed to say I have been somewhere unless I have actually gotten out of the car and done something special or unique to the place - my mom's rule). We went to the International Wolf Center, in Ely. It was superbly, supremely the best thing ever! I adopted a wolf and am now the proud sponsor of Maya, the only female ambassador wolf...

I just read your blog about having your hair cut. I admire you for doing this. My little girl, Mari, had chemo treatment and lost all her hair. She wore occasionally a synthetic wig. It was most uncomfortable. The child that receives your hair will definitely be happy. Thank you for being so generous.
I know you are enjoying your adventure down under. That is one place I have always wanted to go. You have made me realize I better save up and get going. I know you are having fun. Be careful.
