A couple of weeks ago Grandma Mari Lee came down to visit. The weather was nice for a drive and so we headed over to Kellogg, MN to visit Lark Toys. Lark Toys is an old-fashioned toy shop/soda fountain/carousel/mini-golf (in the summers) destination located about 45 minutes from Rochester. The carousel is the big attraction with all wood-carved animals that are beautifully painted. It's not often that you see a huge carousel and the girls really love it!
The rides are $2 and last for less than 5 minutes. It doesn't seem long, but the carousel goes pretty fast and one could get sea-sick if it lasted much longer! They play fun music while it's running too.
Sorry for some blurry pictures...but, obviously the carousel was in motion!
The following pictures are from the toy shop area. They have areas to play and they have some really cool, different toys.

We also ate lunch at the "soda fountain." They have a pretty good menu - burgers & fries, etc. They also have fudge & ice cream...but, we passed on those. This was our second time going to Lark and it won't be our last. It's such a great place for a quick little get-away from home!
