Bowling and a Broken Camera on Emma's Birthday

I'm so excited because I'm finally starting to "show."

She really looks pregnant in "real life." 

Scott was going to make me french toast for my birthday but we didn't have milk or eggs so we put it off until today. 

We used a sweet bread we made a while back. It was a bit saccharine to me. 

After breakfast I made dishwasher soap. 

The past week or two I've been feeling the baby move. When it does karate on me I can see my stomach move. I love watching it do that.

I love to watch Brooke, watch the baby kick.

Today is Emma's birthday. I kind of think its funny that we look alike and I'm only 3 days older than her. Since we couldn't bowl on my birthday Emma thought we should go for hers. 

The dude at Elsie's thought we wouldn't want to play for an hour and then turned around. At that point we decided to find some place else to bowl.

Since Elsie's didn't work out we met up with them in Crystal at Doyle's Bowling & Lounge.

When I wasn't looking, little Olive accidentally dropped my camera. Not just any camera, but my good camera. The autofocus stopped working properly for both the body and the lens and the viewfinder didn't work properly. Seeing as I make all my money with this equipment, the next month will be interesting to say the least. 

After seeing the lanes at Bryant Lake bowl Olive was really excited to try it out. She was actually the only one of us to get a strike. 

I only beat Olive by a few points. That's how bad I am at bowling.

For dinner Emma suggested 50's Grill. 

We got there a little early and waited in the lobby.

When I got home I tested my camera with a few different lenses. Though most of the issue is the lens, autofocus was hesitant no matter what lens was attached. 

We then headed over to Tyler and Emma's for a long overdue game of Catan.

Still hopeful that it wasn't the camera body, I played with my old school manual focus lens. Anyways, it was great to get in some Catan action.

Emma had also picked up Sebastian Joe's ice cream earlier.

After having a malt at 50s Grill, I wasn't exactly ready for more ice cream.

Emma won as usual. She's the queen of Catan at this point.

RV Spring Break: Savannah to Miami

Oh, hey, we made it to Savannah. Time for a nice stroll (well, as leisurely as Brooke will allow).   I was pretty excited to be going to Savannah, even if we could only stay for a few hours. The tricky thing with having an RV is finding a place to park. The Fahm Avenue parking lot had RV spots and then we walked over to the historic district. Meadow should go to the Savannah College of Art and Design. You know, if she can get a scholarship. Savannah is just as cool in person as you think. I should have done at least one house tour. I had to embarrass Meadow with taking her photo in front of the first Girl Scout Headquarters.  Brooke got me to go into the beautiful Catholic church right in the historic district. I don't think I've ever been in a Cathedral Basilica. Usually it's one or the other. It seems like every few blocks there was a perfect square. We should build all cities like this. For lunch we went to Savannah Smokehouse . We ended up getting the sampler for 2, whi...

A Schools Out for Summer Bike Ride

Summer was finally here and we've all got bikes once again! When the kids want crepes, you gotta make them. Theo even helped me this time. Guess we could have used a bigger table out here.  We needed to scout a spot for Meadow's birthday party. We thought today we'd take a family bike ride on Minnehaha Parkway. Meadow got a new helmet over Memorial Weekend which really completed her new bike set up. She's so cute.  We stopped at Lyndale Farmstead Bike shop to fix the grips on Theo's bike.  Good as new. Always love Minneapolis in the spring. This spot seemed like a good one.  Theo wanted a portrait too. There was rain coming so we stopped to wait it out under the Nicollet Avenue bridge. We also saw a few people canoeing and kayaking on the creek.  These guys had the same idea as us.
