So it was absolutely gorgeous yesterday and we decided we need to get out of the house and enjoy the awesome weather. So I started looking for things to do in St. Paul or Minneapolis using City Pages and Explore Minnesota websites. While I drank my coffee I started rambling things off to Crist to help me decide what to do. Well Crist has never been on a Big Paddle Boat before so we settled on a trip on the Mississippi River would be a fun Sunday afternoon. So we got everyone ready and headed to Harriet Island we took a 1.5 hour river tour up to Fort Snelling and back. The kids had fun going up and down to the two decks and watching for eagles flying. It was a great Sunday with the kids in our home state. After the River Boat Tour we headed over to Lower Town for their block party and a little live music. We couldn't stay long because the kids were ready for a nap but the music we did hear was great.
Autumn actually let me take her picture a few times today!

Yesterday was the perfect day to do that - I've always wanted to! Beautiful photo, Autumn, job well done!
