A day at Great Falls with our U of M B-school buddies




We had a great day with Jeannette's B-school classmates, Janet Dulsky, Fred Slone, Beth Emmanuelson and her husband Jim...and a bunch of boys. Madeleine probably didn't think this was the best way to spend her birthday, but it was fun, anyway!

Great Falls is a beautiful spot...but it was a tad cold for April, especially considering that it was over 80 just a couple of days ago!

The boys loved climbing on the rocks...ideally, while swinging a big stick. What could be more fun that TWO potentially dangerous activities combined together?
