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.

Theo took a spill on his bike when we were circling Lake Harriet. We took a short break for him to recoup.

Everything will be fine if we get ice cream.

Since school was out we had to treat the kids to dinner.

You know we love Sushi Train.

Theo got a shot of mama.

It poured while we were eating with another wave of storms coming. We waited it out at the nearby Barnes and Noble.

Theo loves Mo Willems books.

Meadow loves mangas.

An employee pointed out that some of them are too mature for our little gal. True.

Theo ended up getting an RV lego set with his own money.

Ah, nice day.

A Northwoods Mother's Day

My mom had texted me last week asking if we wanted to go to the cottage for Mother's Day. Scott didn't have any work on Monday so we headed there for the weekend. I was able to get off work a little early so we didn't have to get there so late. Driving through Lindstrom Scott wanted to get donuts at the bakery. We didn't have any cash so we settled on ice cream at the Cotton Candy Ice Cream Shop in Center City. About 20 minutes before we got to the cottage Meadow threw up all her milk. Soaking herself and her carseat. She never threw up like this before. It was kind of scary. She kept asking for milk. I guess I should've known better.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast. Scott added granola to his oatmeal. The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it. Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof. Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

Gardening Mama (or How to Hang Out with High School Friends)

Some of Scott's friends from high school that he hasn't seen in like 7 years were stopping by later to see our house. We quickly cleaned up the place, breaking one of our favorite mugs on the way.
