Beating the heat

Today, we had taken off work and planned to take Eleanor to the state fair but with the heat like it was today, we decided against it.  so instead, we took her to the children's museum.  There was a Dora exhibit there and lots of other fun stuff.  she had lots of fun!

After the museum, we went to mom and dad's favorite restaurant since we were in St Paul.  (La Cucaracha's)  yummy!

Then we went to Izzy's for some delicious ice cream.  Eleanor couldn't even handle sitting outside to eat ice cream for 10 minutes so there's no way she would have made it at the fair! lol

on the way home she napped.  Have to say it was a pretty good day!
