New Prague, Minnesota

    On our trip, someone had to make a bathroom stop, so we stopped in a city southwest of St. Paul called New Prague. Something that Minnesotans like to do are to go to Mall of America, which is the biggest mall America! Did we mention that Mall of America has an amusement park in it?!? They also like to visit to the Valley Fair and the State Fair, go camping, and play in the snow. The Minnesota Zoo is another popular place to visit. On the playground, they like to play kickball, football, play on the playground equipment, Chinese jumprope, and walk and talk.  They were the first school to tell us about a merry-go-round on their playground! In their PE class, they just started softball.

    Some other fun facts are that their baseball team, the Twins, got a new spring training girl, and she is a pitcher. Speaking of sports, the Metrodome, their football stadium, had its roof collapsed because of the immense snowfall. Did we tell you that they beat their snowfall record this winter? While we are in the weather business, we will tell you that they are a warm and cold state, unlike us who are able to swim all year round. (It is sweltering hot here!) Something else we want to tell you is that they are called the North Star State.  Minnesota was an interesting place to visit, but we’re off to tour another state!
