Mother's Day in Minneapolis

Mother's Day was rather nice in 2010 -- I got to sleep in and when I woke up I got to drink strong coffee and read the New York Times as Will made crepes! DELICIOUS!!

We then drove to Minneapolis. Abby and Daniel both fell asleep on the way, so I even got a quiet car ride, which allowed me to continue reading the New York Times in peace!

We went to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and enjoyed a Mothers' Day music-themed day at the museum. 

We made cool tambourines.


Abby completed a gallery search -- finding music inspired works of art scattered throughout the museum and answering questions about them.


Daniel enjoyed the museum -- especially this great car, which just happens to be one of Granddad's favorites at the MIA.


After the museum we went to Lake Calhoun and enjoyed the water and view of Minneapolis.

Daniel enjoyed wading in the water too.



And all was well until Daniel fell down and got completely soaked!

(I forgot to bring my camera, but thanks to our handy dandy iPhones, we even have photos of our lovely day.)
