I had another fabulous summer weekend.  Friday night dinner with my in-laws and then a quick drink at my sister in laws on our way home.  Saturday, we went to the Farmer’s Market and found Sugar Snap Peas, flowers and a dozen eggs.  We followed that up with an awesome breakfast at a new restaurant (it will be a different post) and then a beer at the Gopher Bar.  Saturday evening, we went to a friend’s to see their new house and grill out.  All the in betweens were spent napping, lounging, reading and sleeping.  Glorious.

Sunday was the busy day this weekend.  We did the Color Run at the State Fairgrounds in St. Paul.  This is my second time (2012 here) but more importantly, this was the first 5k I had ever done, so it was fun going back again.  We ran with our friends, Rick & Leah, and huge group of people and had a great time.  The weather was perfect compared to the 95 degrees it was last year.

We photo bombed as many pictures as we could including our own.  The race was a blast.  I finally got to try out my new shoes.  My knee didn’t start bugging me until mile 2, so I slowed down and stretched and drank some water and was able to finish with a run.  I’m so glad Rick & Leah signed up with us and got to experience this race.  It’s one of my favorites.

After the race, we had a celebratory breakfast at Schroeder’s and we tried Koolaid Beer for the first time… ever tried it?  We heard of it on Saturday night and had to test it out.  

You get a pitcher of light beer (Coors Light, Bud Light, Miller Lite) and you ask for the bartender to add some grenadine until the color turns red.  It was pretty good.  I don’t think I could drink more than one or two, but it was pretty tasty. 
Sunday afternoon was my niece’s Hello Kitty birthday party.  She will be 5 next week.  Crazy how fast time flies.  
Now, I dare you to scroll back through the pictures and see the many faces of my husband… I have just one face and pose for the camera all the time.  Oh well.
Hope you had a great weekend!
