Twins

I could tell I was doing something seriously wrong by letting my son walk around Minnesota with a Yankee's cap on his head. We've been guilty in the past of having him wear a Yankee's cap at the same time as a Red Sox t-shirt (gasp!). We've never worried much about it. But I have gotten so many comments from people since we've been here, "Get that boy a TWINS cap!" 

Nick shed some light on the subject (we're a baseball inept), and told me it was the equivalent of wearing a Laker's jersey to a Jazz game. 

Message recieved. Loud and Clear.

So, when Scott's office hosted their employees and families at the Twins/Orioles game last weekend, we decided we'd get Peter a new summer baseball cap. Twins, it is! We weren't expecting the sunshine as we sat up at the deck (it is Minnesota, afterall), so Brooklyn got a full-brim Twins cap as well. 

We had a fun time at the game. Peter was in awe, cheering every time the batter hit (we prepped him for the game with a little tee-ball that morning). Peter refused a hot dog when we offered one (smart boy), and has yet to ever eat one. Are we sure he's related to his cousin Ben? All I can think of is, "You lucky man..." in Bodega Bay.

Brooklyn was Miss Social, smiling, waving, and saying "Aye (hi)" to everyone around her. And I do mean everyone because she gets all the adoring looks and comments whenever we go anywhere. 

It was wonderful, badly needed family time. Wonderful, badly needed sunshine time. Wonderful get-to-know downtown and bond a bit with this city. After the game we drove through the Lake Harriet neighborhood (the other neighborhood we considered when searching for housing). Now that the snow is gone, we are more in love with it than ever. I'm still happy we made the decision to live in Eden Prairie. It is a really good fit for us for a lot of reasons. But we are excited to explore Lake Harriet too. It is such a fun neighborhood; it reminds us a lot of our neighborhood in Salt Lake. We are ready to embrace the lakes and spend a lot of time at all these parks! We made our way home from Lake Harriet and busted out the BBQ for the first time this year. It was the greatest weekend. What a difference good weather makes :)
