Lake of the Isles Loppet

Chris's company, Park Nicollet, was one of the sponsors what was the Lake of the Isles Loppet this year. A loppet is a cross-country skiing race. But, due to lack of snow, the event was moved to Theodore Wirth Parkway. This was a good thing, because since they had to make the snow for the race, we were able to participate in a hike that is usually done on skis. It was a beautiful night! A crisp 30 degrees, wonderfully bright moon, hot cocoa, cookies, and a fire eater/dancer! The girls and Chris and I enjoyed the walk through the wooded area, lit by luminaries in ice.
