our mid-week weekend

Steve and Jude went away for a couple of nights near Bayfield, WI with his dad and a couple of Jude's boy cousins.  They stayed in his dad's friend's little cabin by Lake Superior.  I am so glad that Jude could go away with just dad.  He needed some guy time especially after a long weekend of not seeing Steve for a few days while he was working crazy hours.  They went on a 2 mile hike, picked wild blackberries (for over an hour Steve said!) and ate them all, went fishing, canoeing, paddle boating and even took a dip in Lake Superior which Steve said wasn't quite as cold as he was expecting.  Jude came back very happy and very dirty.  It was great. 

While they were gone, me and the girls went to swimming lessons, visited a friend in the hospital, went to a funeral service of another friend Jeneva's age (so glad I was able to take her to it) and did some fun girly stuff too.  We spent Wednesday evening on Grand Avenue in St. Paul.  We ate at Cafe Latte, did some shopping, and then had ice cream at the Grand Ol' Creamery.  Thursday night Heather and Madeline came over for pizza and a movie.  We made the most out of our time with the guys gone and I think they made the most of their time while away from us!  It was so good to have them come back though because we really did miss them!  Jeneva and Jude had to tell each other all of the things that each of them did....and of course both of them were a tad bit envious of what the other one got to do.  :)
