The land of Paul Bunyan and Babe, the Blue Ox...

Legends of Paul Bunyan and Babe, his Blue Ox abound here in Minnesota. One such legend has Paul and Babe galivanting around Minnesota and their tracks filled up and made the 10,000 lakes we have up here. Many statues of Paul and Babe can be seen all over the state.

This summer, the lakes area had statues of Babe the Blue Ox all over at different businesses. Our friend, Josh, was the artist and sculptor of the oxen. Their final wrap up for the summer was at a local amusement park called Paul Bunyan Land.

We spent a warm and sunny Saturday there, where we rode rides, had lunch and watched the ox being auctioned off at the end. We also won a couple of t-shirts to top off the day!
