Theo's 4th Birthday, Fun Day

 

After a busy last few months at work and at home I took Friday off to spend the day with Theo. First up was asking him what he wanted for his birthday breakfast. He chose a chocolate big pancake. 
 
 
I told him we can do whatever he wanted today. I thought we might go to the childrens museum or something but he just wanted to play toys. 
 
 

We also had to celebrate his birthday on Animal Crossing.

Lucky guy got to spend his whole day with mama and papa. Since we've been getting our condo ready to sell, moving and most recently fixing up the rental, we've been so busy. 

Next Theo wanted to go to the Bobolokin Woods.

I sure do miss walking over here everyday. Felt kind of weird to drive over. 


Going to Boblikin woods was at least what he said. Really he just wanted to play under the trees at the Peace Garden.

He was having a blast. 


Soon the wind picked up and we convinced him to go to the toy store to pick out a toy. He wanted to stay all day. 

Then we picked up his cake. Theo chose an ice cream cake and we let the little bub choose one in person. He went with the Oreo Ice Cream Cake at Sebastian Joe's.

At the Hobby Shop he chose a remote control car. He has been asking for one for awhile now. 

Lucky kid. His very own remote control car. 

Since the rental is empty we decided to race it around down there.

For dinner we went to Sushi Train. With Omicron cases in retreat, we thought we'd have some fun. Who knows when the next surge of cases will pop up?

This kid loves his sushi. 

These kids too. 



Meadow and Brooke said I ate too many fancy ones. Whoops.
 
We eat a lot in general.  

Back at home it was present time. 


Theo was excited for present time.

He's been wanting his own art supplies. Now he doesn't have to share with Theo or use up our tape. 


From Gigi he got slinkys. 

And a northwoods counting book. 

Then one last surprise from Meadow. 

His own bean bag chair. 
 
So excited to try his new paint set.
 
I was excited for the decadent ice cream cake.




Happy birthday, little bub!
 
We love you!

Our First Visit to the Steele County Fair plus a Twins Game with Friends

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.

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.

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.
