Friday night I had some "just me" time and went to a concert at the Minnesota Zoo with my friend Jacquie. This is the third summer we have attended a concert there, and we always try to see a band we don't know much about. The summer series at the zoo always has an outstanding lineup, so it's hard to go wrong. This year we saw DeVotchka. While it wasn't my favorite (I liked it, but a little goes a long way), it's hard not to be somewhat entertained by a rock band that has a tuba as a regular instrument. Although it was 90 degrees at 6PM, the heat broke and it turned out to be a beautiful night. Best part was I got to catch up and spend time with a good friend!
Saturday was pretty quiet, and by Sunday late morning I was a little stir crazy. I decided to take Lucy to the beach. We went to Lake Harriet in Minneapolis and had a blast. It was a beautiful day and Lucy had so much fun. The water was nice and clear and there were lots of little bluegills to chase. Lucy used her new pelican floating ring and got a little braver venturing around in the water. I enjoyed sitting in the shallows keeping an eye on her, and of course I didn't realize until I got home that while I slathered Lucy with sunscreen, I neglected to put enough on my own back and shoulders. Burn, baby, burn. Oops, and ouch! I'll be paying for this for awhile!
