Biking downtown

We decided to risk a bike ride downtown on this rainy day and luck was with us! We stayed dry! We visited the stunning Guthrie and played at a new park. But the highlight for the girls: self-serve flavors for their snow cones! 

International Pop

International Pop exhibit at the Walker, the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, and a trip to the dollar store for flip-flops because someone forgot to wear shoes.

 

Happy Mother's Day!

Sending mother's day wishes to my mom, sister, the girls' birthmoms, and all other amazing moms!

Willa made a sweet (and funny) project at school for me.

Landscape Arboretum

Just us and 38,000 tulips. Plus some fort-building, planting, and bird-watching. (And a thousand other people.) Thankfully, it's a big place.

Festival of Nations

The Festival of Nations was about eating yummy food (Lebanese, Thai and French), spending allowance money, watching a fabulous Taiwanese dance, and seeing friends!

Cascade Falls

Day Trip Stop #3: Cascade Falls. We stopped here on the spur of the moment and it was the girls' favorite spot of the day. We hiked up and down 132 stairs (we had a contest and counted) and were rewarded with a fantastic view and play area behind and in front of the falls. Lots of mud was involved and we all had a great time.
