IGH weekend

This was a complete Inver Grove Heights weekend. It wasn't intentional, it just sort of worked out that way.

Friday, we stopped by Aunt Emma's in IGH to say "Hi!" and bring her a thank you cookie for coming with us to the waterpark this summer so that Adam could play in the sand while Laura and I played in the water (wow, what a long sentence. probably a run-on). While driving around, I glanced at a sign about a pancake breakfast at the South St Paul airport on Saturday.

Saturday, we drove to IGH to check out the sign again to make sure I read it right, and it said the breakfast was actually Sunday. So we had breakfast at a McD's in IGH with a cool playground. Then we went to Gertens (also in IGH), just for the fun of it. We spent about 45 minutes there and left with 2 plants and some apple cider. Home next, for planting and then Adam's nap. Jim replaced a bathtub drain plug while Laura and I cleaned out the car to get ready for the busy busy fall we have planned (more later). I think we ended up ordering pizza for dinner, so I guess that wasn't in IGH.

Sunday, we went to the pancake breakfast at the South St Paul airport (technically not IGH, but close enough for an Eaganite). That was fun! Free rides for 8-12 year olds, so alas we just had to watch the flights since we were all either too old or too young. Then, we headed to the St Paul Cathedral since we had missed Mass in Eagan. This was also not in IGH, and can't even pretend to be in IGH, but it wasn't in Eagan. Lunch at Saigon, also in St. Paul. YUM! Best meal that I've had there. Home again for Adam's nap, again. Then we headed to a cool playground in (you guessed it) IGH that the kids and I wanted to show Jim. And dinner at Baja Sol (also in IGH).

It turns out that this weekend is IGH Days. We spent all that time there, but missed the fireworks, fishing contest, parade, etc. Next year!

Sigh. I realized that I didn't cook even one meal this weekend - including breakfast. Oops.

And in case you just need a picture, here you go:
