This past weekend was very busy for us. On Friday night we attended a surprise birthday party for a friend of ours in downtown Minneapolis at Hard Rock Cafe. She also got engaged that day too as a surprise so it was fun to celebrate with them! After Hard Rock, about 10 of us went on to a dueling piano bar close by called The Shout House. It was GREAT! I would recommend it to people of all ages (21+ of course)! They play music via 2 grand pianos, and they add in a guitar and some drums once in awhile. They play music from the 50's all the way through today and they do it in a way that everyone is entertained! Our good friends Rick & Brittany were out of town this past weekend so we slept at their apartment in Burnsville. Peter spent Friday night at a coworker's house with her family. He did really well there. They entertained him and spoiled him, so how could anything go wrong? :)
On Saturday night after Peter went to bed (and our sitter arrived), we went to a place called The What's Up Lounge and watched our good friend Jacob's band play. We have never heard them live before so it was awesome to finally be able to be there. It was a great night! The pictures of Ben & I are from Hard Rock Cafe, The Shout House & The What's Up.
On Sunday morning we cleaned house a bit and we rearranged the furniture in our living/dining room. We really like the change. It's needed now that our lifestyle has changed with a 2 year old! Next time you come over, you'll get to see it! On Sunday afternoon, we took Peter to Sibley Park in downtown Mankato and we had a picnic. We also went to the zoo (not a real zoo...just a kiddie zoo at the park). The photo's are of Peter eating applesauce with Daddy, Peter chasing a Peacock, Peter not getting any attention from the ducks, and Ben attempting to feed the ducks with no luck...and finally the last picture is of Peter as he found the corn machine. He is always fascinated by machines and he is a very analytical little boy so as soon as he found that, the animals were of no interest to him. :)
We also stopped at Sam's Club and Wal-Mart and we bought some flowers for our planters out front. My hope is that I can keep the flowers alive until the end of July as last year they were dead by June. :( Wish me luck!
