Every year we have robin's nest somewhere along our front porch. This year the robins chose the tall yew located between the porch and the garage door. It was fun to peek into the bush from the porch whenever the mommma and poppa robins were out digging up worms. Unfortunately, we could see that one of the eggs did not hatch so it's still in the nest. Here is a photo of one of the babies, about three weeks after hatching. This little guy is fun to watch, as the flying skills are still a little shaky and the most notable red breast isn't quite red yet. That must come with age.
This was the best Mothers' Day weekend ever. We picked up my mom and drove up to Menomonie. It was fun to hang out with Mike, Carmen, Seth, Aubrey, Sedona and new baby Quinn. We stayed a while and took photos then dropped mom off and continued on to Jason and Heather's. The house is gorgeous. We got the tour and hung out and ate pizza. Their house is so big there was plenty of room for us to stay, unlike Mike and Carmen's cute little house, just brimming with little people.
Saturday we got up and ran out to Ikea - my favorite store. We shopped and then went over to Minnehaha Park. We walked around the waterfall and had lunch at the little fish place in the park's pavilion. It is only open seasonally and the weather is just getting warm enough to enjoy sitting outside for lunch. We went back to the house and watched the Kentucky Derby - hours and hours of build up for 5 minutes of excitement. And it was exciting. Once the race was over we drove back to Mike's for dinner. I rode bikes with the kids through the neighborhood. Everyone in the area is so nice, it's a great place for kids to grow up. After it got dark, we drove back to Jason and Heather's for the night.
The next morning we had a nice breakfast and said our good-byes. When we got to Mike and Heather's, we were greeted again by all the kids - so happy all the time. We picked up mom and headed back home. When we dropped her off she said it was the best Mothers' Day ever. I would agree.
