Could today's weather be stranger? It is Minnesota, so I am not surprised that we are experiencing snow in April, but that fact that we have had rain, snow, sun, clouds, more snow, and more sun within the time frame of one day does seem a bit out of the ordinary. If you're like me and the great majority of the population, you're ready for the weekend and looking for some fun to fill the time away from work. Lucky for you, there is no shortage of things in the area!
