Day in the City

I'm going to try out a Monday-Wednesday schedule of posting on this blog, followed by a Friday posting on my project blog. That seems manageable, and sensible, to boot. We'll see how it works out.

Anywho, when Mom was here at the end of May we had a fantastic day in Minneapolis.

We first went to the downtown library for the first time. It's beautiful.

It was really difficult to leave. But we had a great reason to head out. Baby Aedan!

 

Mom hadn't met Baby Aedan yet.  She was very, very excited to see him. (Who wouldn't be?)

After that fun, we headed over to Minnehaha Park, where Harry was waiting for us, to have some lunch and to hike.

 Henry at Minnehaha Falls. It always blows me away that this is in the city. You'd never guess it when you're hiking the trails.

We saw lots of what we think were army worms. They were everywhere.

Saw (and photographed, but I won't bore you with those pictures) lots of wildflowers in bloom, including this wild geranium:

And finally, the kids (and Dad!) played in the creek. It was a beautiful day!

We all headed home after that, exhausted, but happy. It was a wonderful day.
