Play date with Henry Kruger/Bike ride to SeSalt and a Block Party!

A couple of weekends ago we were home with no plans--that hasn't happened much at all this summer, so we took advantage of the time to get some things done around the house and then we rewarded ourselves with some time to play!

Saturday afternoon Bishop met his best friend from school, Henry Kruger, at Linden Hills park for a play date. These two are 2 peas in a pod. Bishop is ALWAYS talking about Henry Kruger (there are 2 Henry's in his class, so they each go by their full names) and so it was really fun for them to swim a little together and play at the park together!

Sunday we started the day with a walk to the Farmer's Market.  We then took a family bike ride to Minnehaha falls for lunch at SeSalt and a ride on one of their 4 person bikes. Bishop really wanted to take one out for a spin and so we obliged. It was a lot of work pedaling that heavy bike with 4 people!! The kids loved it and it was fun to see parts of the park we hadn't seen before!

After that we biked to the Linden Hills Block Party (hosted by Tilia).  It was a hot day.....but the kids loved it! There was a bouncy house that Bishop loved. It was a little too much for Nora, as there were big kids in the bouncy house and so she enjoyed watching!  There were tons of kids activities, including a balloon artist. We waited in line for a LONG time (probably a 1/2 hour) for Bishop's fishing pole balloon-he loved it!  We had to hurry home from there so we could get ready for our FF family draft!

Whew! It was a fun weekend...but Sunday night was kind of tough--the kids napped in the Chariot on the bike, which meant they didn't get as long or as regular of naps and then Luke and I needed to draft our FF teams and the kids were all wound up that night--it added some stress, but we all survived!
