It has been a whirlwind since we got back from Nashville. Lots of exciting things happening in life and I thought I would take a minute to share something other than a recipe. Which apparently I have been finding a lot of lately.
Last weekend I got to hang out with Emmie at a family wedding and I cannot believe how big and beautiful she's getting. It seems like just yesterday she was born and now she's almost a year!
Katie and I tried a new restaurant called the Smilin' Moose in Hudson. It's a great place to catch up and spend some time by the river.
I ran 10 miles. Mom biked with me and I am so glad that she did because on mile 1 we saw a black bear...I can definitely skip seeing one of those that close again.
In the wonderful world of being a nanny we've been going on lots of outdoor adventures.
Here are some pictures of the kiddos and Riley at Fawn-dow-rossa in St. Croix Falls. I would definitely recommend taking any kid (big or small) we all had a blast.
We have been trying out a bunch of new parks and the kids loved seeing the Lucy statue at St. Croix Prep!
The kids had never been spelunching so I took them to the Boom site and we searched for bats and climbed around the cave. They had tons of fun. Of all the pictures that we took when we were there this was their favorite because they decided it didn't seem cool to smile in front of a cave. It was way better to be serious.
On Wednesday we got a special surprise when Riley stopped by in the squad car so the kids could see what it was like inside! They were SO excited. He even let them turn on the lights and sirens.
The kids think it's pretty cool that Riley is a police officer and he comes to hang out with us!
Thursday meant workout 15.3 for the Granite Games Qualifier. I seriously thought that training for and running a marathon was difficult, but this experience has surpassed that training 10 fold. You don't realize how much your body is capable of until it has reached it's breaking point. I reached mine yesterday.
In the words of Kelly Clarkson, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"
And believe me I feel stronger and more powerful every time I workout with this awesome 4:30 bunch. They are some of the strongest people I have ever met.
How was your week?
