Weekend without DaddyC

Luke left for his yearly spring fishing trip on Saturday morning. After he left the kids and I went to the MN Zoo! We went on the MN trail, which I haven't been on and the kids really seemed to enjoy it as it was something new!

We checked out other areas of the zoo as well and even played at the park!

The kids had Henry Kruger's birthday party in the afternoon and we had a little time between the Zoo and the party so we stopped at the MOA to ride on some rides (I had some wristbands from when they ran the Goldy Run race). The kids had a blast and were very good listeners while we were there. We had a little trouble finding our car when we left....as I went up the stairs instead of down (Bishop told me to go down, but I didn't listen)! Oops! We found our car and made it over to Henry's birthday party at MyGym in Eden Prairie. Nora was a bit reserved at the party, but warmed up by the end.

Best Friends!

Fishing like Daddy!

On Sunday we went to church and it was Bishop's last week of Sunday School. My mom came up after church and we went to the carnival at Linden Hills Park. There was a chance for rain and storms, but we were able to enjoy the carnival for awhile before the storms rolled in!

On Monday night we went to the Bormann's to play with their cousins! It was our anniversary on Sunday (May 17th) and Shelly was so sweet to buy roses for me for my anniversary! She is so thoughtful and I'm so lucky to have her as my sister! The kids had fun playing together and it was nice to have a little help too!

Cousins!

Tuesday night the kids had soccer and Luke was home on Wednesday! We really missed him, but especially Bishop. He missed his daddy A LOT!!! I felt so bad for him. He'd be quiet and sad because he missed him so much--and that's just not like him!

Luke had a good time fishing and he even brought some fish home for us to enjoy! Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best for them.....the ice was out on the lakes, which was nice, but it down poured rain one day and snowed the next! He was cold!

I had a great time with the kids! Every fishing trip is easier and easier as the kids are a little more self sufficient! Bedtime gets a little tricky (and late), but otherwise we had a great time....and we were all excited to have daddy home again! :)
