June 10 Fun Facts

This past weekend, Ashley and Nicole (and Dan) surprised me w/ a Segway tour in Minneapolis as an early birthday present. It was so much fun. At first, I thought for sure I was gonna fall and break my neck. However, after a bit of instruction and some practice time, we all got the hang of it and it was easy. We went to the Stone Arch Bridge, to the Mill City museum (just on the outside), the river walk area then over the Hennepin Avenue bridge to Boom Island, Nicollet Island and back to the Segway store. It was about a 2½ hour event. We got rained on a bit, but all in all it was a fabulous way to spend an afternoon. Next time anyone is looking for a fun tourist thing to do, I recommend the Magical History Tour. Just go to www.humanonastick.com. We celebrated my birthday with brunch before the tour w/ our friends Andy, Erin and Andy’s dad Sid. It was a great morning to sit outside and enjoy brunch (at Lord Fletcher’s on Lake Minnetonka). Dan also surprised me with a new bicycle. I have been lookin’ at buying one for a while as my old one was over 20 years old. Now to get the June rains to subside so I can get out and try it. All in all a fabulous 40 something birthday.

Fashion on a Segway

We had a crawfish boil on Sunday to celebrate Savannah's birthday. She didn't get any crawfish but she loved her cake. When we took the family picture, she reached out and grabbed her cake. I just wasn't quick enough to keep her out of it! So we quickly sang and then let her dive into the little cake I had for her. She's walking and talking! She says "baby" and "hi" along with "mama and dada." She has hit all of her milestones before her brothers did. However, they were much better sleepers and I'll take that any day over advanced talking and walking!

The boys took swimming lessons all last week and are doing great in the water. Savannah and I got to get in with them every day and she loved it! She's a little fish. She kicks when you tell her to and looks like an adorable little frog!
