Eric's Birthday

Eric's birthday was a couple weeks ago.  I'm behind on posting, so here's what we did!

Alex requested a stack of tiny pancakes

We caught a regatta on the way to Maynard's for lunch.

They were racing around big island.  It's fun to watch them changing sails as they change direction.

Perfect day for lunch on the Wharf at Maynard's!

Instead of a cake Eric requested to go to Ben and Jerry's for ice cream in Wayzata after lunch.  We parked the boat by the depot and were lucky enough to see two trains go by while we were visiting the depot.  The boys love everything about trains!  This train was just starting up, so it was moving pretty slow. The sound of the whistle is very powerful!

The train engineer was switching tracks for the little train, so the boys liked watching the train.  They could watch this little train for hours.

This train had an engine at the back of the train!

This engine was patriotic for July 6th!

Not too much longer he will be able to lift them both up like that!

The Minnehaha pulled up to the dock a couple times giving rides while we were at the depot.  Always a beautiful site!
