We were able to get a few things done all while having fun and ducking the rain showers!
On Thursday night we went to Crave in Minneapolis and sat on the rooftop with all of the cool Minneapolites. I ate Glazed Grilled Salmon with lobster mashed potatoes, sweet chili buerre blanc, and sauteed spinach. Of course we also ordered the calamari for an appetizer and that was also great. Dessert was a s'mores brownie. Yum!
Friday we went to the Science Museum of Minnesota and took in the King Tut omnitheater and exhibit. It was the first time we were there in a long time and enjoyed another interesting film and exhibit.
After that we went to Izzy's for ice cream in St. Paul and then to the Mall of America. The highlight of the MOA was mom and dad both got some sweet shoes.
Saturday, Dad, Katy and I got together to attack the back yard. We took down the smallest of our bushes and a small tree in the back yard.
Here's the video of the bush take down.
Sunday, Father's Day, we went to the Twins game! I didn't think we'd have too much trouble getting tickets but it ended up more of a challenge than I thought. We hit a couple scalpers which didn't turn out for us but we took standing room only tickets and watched in right center field. Though, that saved us a bit of money.
In the crowd we spied Nate and Amanda, Uncle Paul and Nate's dad. We also spied Lance in his season tickets. We exchanged texts before he came over to say hi and said "I have paparazzi" because I was taking pictures of him and waving.
After the game we went to DQ for some ice cream and then finished it out with Axel's Bonfire on Grand Avenue on a beautiful night.
Tuesday we finished up the trip with lunch downtown at Cosi with Katy.
Overall, it was great to have Mom and Dad. Another thing on our to do list is add a bed and furniture so they can stay with us and so can you!
