Dinner for Lunch and Beer for Dinner

Meadow and I are working on a cat purse that she designed. I tell her what to do and she's been doing all the sewing herself.

She's going to be a fashion designer.

Her new favorite show is Project Runway.

Little buddy loves playing with cars.

Meadow likes Wii Fit.

We put back together the learning tower since Theo loves climbing up things. He thinks it's the greatest being able to see everything.

He helped me make some chickpea flatbread.

I almost finished my book except I ran short of a few pages. This time I actually finished it.

That's after she ordered a few more pages.

Photo books are expensive, whether digitally made or by hand.

Roll, roll, roll the dough until...

you have some flatbread.

Since we were going to meet up with some friends during dinner, I made dinner for lunch. Falafel.

These two.

We met up with Shannyn, Brent, Allyson, Tom and their kids at Utepil's taproom.

This is one of my favorite Minnesota breweries. I'm a sucker for good German beers.

The kids went straight to working on their coloring.

Theo and Allister are a few years apart, but that didn't stop them from having some fun.

Next year they will probably play together.

We happened to grab the table by all the games.

The kids might have scared everyone away.

The place was packed when we arrived.

Sadly the food truck that was scheduled didn't show up.

We were driving home and decided we needed to get dinner and there's no better option then World Street Kitchen.

My Korean burrito hit the spot. Too bad Meadow's kids chicken was super spicy.

My Mexican egg sandwich was also epic. Sorry, Meadow.

We then headed across the street to the Waffle Bar for dessert.

I'd wanted to try this place out for a while.

Our waffle ice cream sundae was pretty good, but they should really tone down the bright white lighting.

Our First Visit to the Steele County Fair and a Twins Game

This past year Theo's best friend moved to Owatonna. When we came down last May for his birthday party I saw a sign for the Steele County Fair and knew we had to come back for it. First stop is the lemonade stand. Then we hit up the daredevil show. After going to the RV show last February, Theo gets excited to tour campers. They're fun to look at it or rent, but sorry bud, we're sticking to tents for the most part. You know I love a fair that is connected to the historic village. I don't know if this is a common thing, but a few of the county fairs around here have little history centers right on their fairgrounds.

Minneapolis Old House Bike Rides Without the Kids

Brooke and I went on a little bike date again to see some more old houses. This time for one of the tours I was most excited for, Lowry Hill. We started with a history of the Walker Art Museum. This house was built for the architect Frank B. Long of the notable architects Long and Kees. That's quite the roof. Long wouldn't recognize the view from his home. These houses are bit fancy for my taste, but I learned some Minneapolis history along the way. It seemed like on this tour we had to stop at every house on Mount Curve Avenue. I always wonder what people do with McMansions, but why the heck would you want an actual mansion. Hopefully preserving the history. Doubt it. Still looks the same. Dreamy garden. See Brooke, we need more trees. Brooke's book even pointed out a few mid-century homes to my surprise. We kept on walking right up until sunset. Which meant a night bike ride. My favorite. The next day we took the new Hennepin Avenue protected bikewa...

Work Trip: Dallas Part Deux

I was back in Dallas for a day or so to shoot another college campus. After the shoot I made my way back to Bishop Arts District for some tacos at Taqueria El Si Hay . Of course Scott get sent to the cities you don't want to visit in summer. Hey, I just go where they send me. I should've got some elotes on the side. It was only 98 and humid. Just your typical Dallas summer day. I ended up finding a shady park to eat. There’s a lot, and I mean a ton, of suburban sprawl in Dallas proper. But if you look hard enough there’s some rather large areas of pre-WWII development.
