Heart to Home | Roger's Lake Outing Part 2

What a great way to finish out the week.  On Friday we took the residents from Mendakota Manor on a nice outing to Roger's Lake Park in Mendota Heights.  We enjoyed some fishing and a light picnic under the gazebo.  The weather was a bit cool and windy, but it didn't deter us from having a good time.  We even had the opportunity to enjoy the company of a few great grand kids!  The smiles are priceless...

Heart to Home | Happy 4th of July!

We had a fun day at Heart to Home!  We spent a great deal of time outdoors enjoying the beautiful weather and celebrating the 4th of July.  Yesterday one of our residents helped picked out some small fireworks from the local Target.  And today we put on a fun firework show!  It brought back many memories of summers in Minnesota...  Fireworks, warm weather, lunch outdoors...  Lots of smiles as we reminisced about cabins, warm weather, fishing, fireworks, cookouts, etc...  To top it off we enjoyed happy hour and cookie decorating!

 

 The start of the firework show for everyone at Mendota Manor.  Of course we were clapping after each firework :)

Nick providing a sparkler dance for everyone... Bravo!

Lunch outside today was absolutely beautiful.  We will take all the 75 degree and sunny days we can get!

The firework spread... All ready to go.

Our giant sunflowers are on the rise... An annual Heart to Home tradition.

Our veggie garden is coming in nicely!

I had to add a few photos of the front garden at Mendakota Manor, it looks so beautiful this year.

After a fun day outside it was time for a quick nap, followed by happy hour and cookie decorating!
