Worlds Largest Raspberry! Not only is this one of the newest Big Things I've seen (erected July 2017), it is also one of the best!! (I seem to have an affinity with Food Big Things 😋). As soon as I saw this online I KNEW I had to see it! My instahub liked this one so much he even got out from behind the camera for a pic with this great Big Thing! Big big thanks to our hosts @brue0097 and Derek for being such great Big Thing tour leaders. So nice to sit back and be driven around from Big Thing to Big Thing :) We had such an awesome weekend away and hope you enjoyed the behind the scenes of a Big Thing roadtrip! xxx #littlekarenbigthings #minnesotabigthings #worldslargestraspberry #insearchofquirk (at Hopkins, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1C7FObnSE5/?igshid=1qq3ef17li594

Big baseball mit and baseball ⚾️ I love it when you get to see Big Things without traveling specifically to see them! We went to a Twins game and our host @brue0097 came through with the win by showing us these cool game related big things! #littlekarenbigthings #minnesotatwins #minnesotabigthings #bigbaseballmitandball (at Target Field) https://www.instagram.com/p/B08ZkfMHQIC/?igshid=15c7vgi9hj2lj

Big Snowman ☃️ You can't miss this guy, right off the expressway. When I think of Minnesota I think of cold snowy winters, but it was anything but cold when we were there! Thankfully he doesn't melt 😂 #littlekarenbigthings #minnesotabigthings #bigsnowman (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B06myJxH0We/?igshid=h7pe50d647pi

Big Blue 🐓 (#2) This is a sister to the one I saw in Washington DC. I love this guy, but prefer the D.C. version as you can get right up to it. Swipe to see 2017 🐓 (8 months pregnant... versus 2019 with Jack who's now 16 months old!) #littlekarenbigthings #minnesotabigthings (at Minneapolis Sculpture Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/B00pzN9ngsF/?igshid=1vvq7y1q8wxt3

Big Molecule 🔬 This Big Thing brought to you by my gracious host @brue0097 who found this Minnesota Big Thing that I didn't know about! This Big Thing also wins biggest ratio difference - Original size : Big Thing size 🏆 #littlekarenbigthings #minnesotabigthings #bigmolecule (at Molecular and Cellular Biology Building) https://www.instagram.com/p/B00lw0iHJiu/?igshid=19j0w2tviepdz

Spoonbridge & Cherry!!!! 🥄🍒 This fantastic Big Thing by my favorite artists #claesoldenburg & #coosjevanbruggen has been on the top of my Big Things bucket list for many years and it did not disappoint!! We'd planned to come here back in 2016 but the trip was thwarted by the sculpture garden being shut down for redevelopment. It seems it was worth the wait... the grounds are lovely and any place with multiple big things in a single line of view (see the giant blue 🐓 in the background) gets a huge ✔ of approval from this gal! Now I just need to figure out what should be the next Big Thing to replace the bucket list no. 1 position! Let me know your thoughts! #littlekarenbigthings #spoonbridgeandcherry #minnesotabigthings #insearchofquirk (at Minneapolis Sculpture Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zlpYKnzLy/?igshid=h3mcrldr0ed0

World's Largest Boot Officially one of the best Big Things I've ever seen!! It's 100% replica of a real Red Wing boot, made out of leather! And they even have their own big thing selfie camera where you can email yourself the pic (swipe for pic). There is also a museum upstairs with history and shows how they make their boots.. This was Jacks favourite part (actually it was climbing the stairs up and down over and over which was his favourite lol). #littlekarenbigthings #worldslargestboot #redwing #minnesotabigthings #insearchofquirk (at Redwing Shoes World's Largest Boot) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0s0-yonx4u/?igshid=ai1327zhkkl1

World's largest 6 pack! Finally made it to this famous big thing, so happy you can get right up next to them! Jack preferred the truck across the road lol #littlekarenbigthings #minnesotabigthings #insearchofquirk (at City Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0qyqwHnSz5/?igshid=1crcb6k8eml3k
