Escalators & Ice Fishing

Jenna and I went to the airport on Friday to pick Bruce up. Since it was her nap time I thought she would fall asleep on the way to airport, no such luck. She talked the entire way to the airport! The plan had been that I'd just pick Bruce up outside, but since she was awake she wanted to go in the airport. She loved being in the airport and watching all the people, but what she really, truly enjoyed were all the escalators! She'd squeal every time we'd get on one, and her face would light up with a huge smile, it was really cute. After Bruce found us, she 'helped' him with his bag back to the car, and continued to be excited by all the escalators. She was very happy to see her daddy, and even insisted that he put his computer bag on the floor so she could give him a proper Jenna hug, which included setting her head on his shoulder - it was very sweet.

For Valentine's day this year Bruce and I were able to hang out for the day on Saturday, because his parents came up and stayed with the kids all day. It sounded like the kids had fun hanging out with Grandma & Grandpa and really enjoyed their special date for Valentine's day (they went to Wendy's). Bruce and I enjoyed walking around Grand Avenue for the afternoon, and then going out to eat at the Nicollet Island Inn. It was nice to spend the day hanging out, as just the two of us. On Sunday we started the day off with heart shaped pancakes and blueberry muffins. Every one gobbled them up ;) Then later that night Bruce treated us to wild rice stuffed chicken on the grill (it was yummy), and we followed up with ice cream cake for dessert.

Yesterday (President's Day) Andrew had school, but Jenna did not have daycare, so she got to have a Daddy day. When Bruce asked her what she wanted to do, she told him 'ice fishing', so off they went! Here are a few pictures from his phone. It sounds like she did great, and really enjoyed it.
I considered it a successful trip since she didn't fall in the water, or drop anything in it :) He may have a hard time only taking 1 kid the next time he goes out since she's already been asking when she gets to go next!
