Wood Delivery, Birthday party, Date night, Play date for Bishop, Nana visits with trip to Minnehaha Falls

Even though Rich has retired from wood delivery he still has a couple stops a year. On Saturday he came down to deliver to 2 places so we helped out and the kids had a blast!

 In the afternoon Liam had his 5th birthday party at Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield. It was great and the kids LOVED it! They went on a creature walk, saw some animals, played inside and get got to pet a big snake! Happy birthday, Liam! Thanks for being such a great friend!

Good buds--celebrating Liam's birthday!

 Since Grandpa and Grandma were in town we asked them to stay so Luke and I could get out for a date night. We started the night at the new Surly Brewery, which was really neat. It's really big...and has a cool outdoor area. We heard the food is absolutely delicious, but it was more of a cafeteria style, so we went to Bar La Grassa for dinner, which was perfect! We ended the night at 112 eatery and then headed home. Thanks for watching the kids, Grandpa and Grandma!

 On Sunday Bishop had his first play-date with Asa and they went to a movie!! They saw the Minions movie and they were both so happy to be together! It was pretty cute! While Bishop was with Asa I got some great one on one time with Nora. We played at the park and hung out together, which was perfect!

Girl time at the park!

My mom hadn't seen the kids in a month and was missing them-so she came up for a visit on Sunday afternoon. The kids were so excited to see her! She's always wanted to join us at SeSalt/Minnehaha Falls, so took her there. We hiked down to the Mississippi River and then headed back to SeSalt for dinner. My mom was quite the trooper as part of the hike to the river is a little uneven and rocky! It was a great way to end a fun weekend!
