Best Weekend Ever: Part 1

This weekend was so great--it will require at least 2 blog entries to feature all of the great pics. The Keaty Crew made the trip up to Minneapolis this past weekend for a long visit. It was so great having them here and showing them around the city.

Our first visit was a bookstore called Wild Rumpus. I knew this was a must see for Becca because this is a one of a kind bookstore, with animals running wild all over the store (literally...chickens, cats, ferrets, etc).

Finn was such a good boy all weekend. This kid seriously loves to read. I see a grounding from his books in a future just like his mama. He has started to say so many more words...car, cow, car, baba, car, tata (for Greta), car...did I mention he says car? He loves cars.

AFter a day of running around the city, Finn was pretty tired. Nick walked him to Qdoba so that he could partake in his afternoon snack (burrito...mmmm). And Finn fell asleep in the stroller...

We had Katie, Summer and the boys over for a BBQ Friday night so that Becca could meet Max, and Finn and Max could have a playdate. The play date didn't exactly happen because it was so close to bedtime, but it was very fun. Finn turned on the charm immediately once Summer and Katie arrived.

Finn had a pre-party bath so that he smelled sweet....he loves bathtime too!

The weather semi-cooperated, and we were able to enjoy being outdoors. Thursday night we played bolo for like 3 hours, while the boys consumed a multitude of beers. We played until it was pretty much pitch black out and I was on my death bed from mosquito bites. Finn liked crawling around in the yard too!

Doesn't this look like a herd of elephants with a baby calf?

More to come from our wonderful weekend tomorrow!!!!!
