I took the kids to the greenhouse before Mother's Day to pick out plants for the Grandma's as well as their favorites for around the house.
We worked hard weeding...
...and planting - Keeley's tradition is planting snap dragons around the mailbox <3
We also care for the land by cleaning road ditches.
Scott is taking in the view at the gravel pit.
Keeley is caring for Dustin Anderson's pigs by picking up trash!
Keeley also had her first driving lesson with the BushHog - she did EXCELLENT - and mom was never far away!
PLEASE JUST DON'T LITTER!!!
2 miles for Farm Bureau and 2 miles for 4-H complete - that's 8 miles of road ditches cleaned by the Rural Runges in one afternoon - for the second year in a row!
Saturday afternoon we biked 5 miles around the lake. We were all a little nervous as we haven't biked far from home much since Uncle Clint was hit on his bike and it was our first time for the year. We said a prayer and all was fine - Aunt Franny even caught up to us when we were half way around and finished the ride with us. Wearing a helmet was a first for me - not cute or cool like the kids' - but we've learned the hard way you only get one head.
This will help remove the mental image of me in a helmet! Jake is such a great big brother! <3
Saturday night Scott and I decided to take the kids to Dino's Pizzeria in North Mankato. A rare occurrence for us - when we usually go to Mankato it is fast food and everything is rushed. We made a point to allow time to sit down and eat in an actual restaurant this time and it was well worth it!
The kids were all given dough balls to play with while we waited for our cheese bread and pizzas - they had a blast throwing it in the air!
For dessert we surprised them and ordered them creme brulee to try...
It was so much fun to watch them get served a fancy dessert...
and even more fun to watch their faces when they tried it!
Dino's was awesome and we may just have found our new family night out restaurant!
