Howard...Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes...actually they think there is around 15, 000 now, I think.  We are only around 40 minutes from Lake Minnetonka.  When I was little, my parents, brothers and sister and I used to go boating and picnicing there once in awhile.  There is an amusement park next to the lake, Excelsior Amusement Park, that we used to go to on the 4th of July sometimes.  We would watch the fireworks over Lake Minnetonka.  <br />
<br />
A lot of people would sit out in their boats on the lake and watch the fireworks.  I met the &quot;Beach Boys&quot; at the Amusement Park one year when I was a teenager.  They were just getting started, but they had a few of their great hits out.  I got their autograph, and my girlfriends and I got to be right up front at the dance hall that night.  <br />

Lake Minnetonka was in the news a lot last year because of the &quot;Minnesota Vikings&quot; incident.
