All summer long

Twins game (now this one could be our last at the dome)

Thug life

We were going to go bowling last Thursday, but it was closed :( We went to DQ instead!

We found this cool fountain at the U.

The lovely east bank.

On Wednesday night, Allen and I went downtown to the annual Aquatennial torchlight parade on Hennepin Ave. I had never been before (not that I can remember anyways) and there were a ton of people. The parade was really long and I had to go to the bathroom the whole time! I was going to use an outhouse, but a lady angrily came up and told me that the back of the line was that way. I said sorry and we kept walking. As with most parades (at least here in MN) the police are at both the beginning and end of the parade.

MN's finest

Minneapolis police band

Cops on horses, notice a theme here?

It was a perfect night for a parade! I'm not quite sure how to change my camera's shutter speed or anything, but I like how these photos turned out. One thing that we didn't see in the parade were any bagpipers. I love bagpipers in parades so I was a bit disappointed. It was still fun though!

More food

1st batch of mashed potatoes (a potato masher would have come in handy...ha!) But they were really good. I also roasted the garlic (in aluminum foil) along with the chicken. It was really good on the potatoes, but really garlicky!

1st chicken I've made besides drummies

Allen liked it a lot

Banana bread- take II (I doubled the recipe, can you tell?)

My Aunt Debbie gave me this book last week (she recently bought the new edition). I'm really excited to start using it! Thanks Debbie!

Take me out to the ball game

These are from last summer, 2008, when I had super long hair!

Us now, summer 2009, we both have shorter hair!

Goofing off. My face indicates the nasty smell that I was smelling practically the whole game (until we left around the 7th inning) It smelled like either urine...or old beer on the floor. Ish! Allen couldn't smell it as much as I could, lucky for him!
