Junethan's 2nd Big Day on NMBAC's 1st Anniversary

I was feeling lazy this morning and asked Scott to make breakfast while I stayed in bed a little bit.

I used to think waffles were the best of all pancake variants, but these just don't hit the spot like they used to since big pancakes and kaiserschmarrn.

Hi Meadow.

It finally seems that we're getting close to actual winter weather. I even got to wear my long johns today.

We don't really need much produce, but seeing as this is the last weekend for the farmers market, we got what we could. One of the farmers gave Meadow a tiny pumpkin.

Not much left other than root veggies this time of the year.

We're bringing brussels sprouts to Thanksgiving. We'd bought some from Costco, but thought we might need some more.

Meadow wanted to carry it, but kept saying it was too heavy so I helped her out.

It's been a year since the North Minneapolis Bicycle Advocacy Council started. It's been great meeting like-minded bike nuts and making new friends at the same time. Alexis has done a kick-ass job getting us all together.

We met up at Burrito Cubano for the one year anniversary.

While we discussed 26th Avenue and Open Streets Meadow was ready to go June's birthday party.

As soon as we arrived Meadow went straight to the toys.

All the other kids gathered around baby Lydia to check ups on her.

I guess this has something to do with June's birthday theme. I just like bananas.

The kids got to paint their own train bank. We don't do many craft things at home so I love to watch Meadow's creative side.

Hey watch out Roman! I'm drinking hot chocolate.

You knew Meadow wasn't far behind.

We got June a new bike helmet. Scott really wanted to get him a storm trooper one instead.

I think I wanted the C-3PO one.

What kid doesn't like cars?

All the kids were loving June's new toy cars.

Whenever we go over to someones house we like to extend our welcome and be the last ones to leave.

We ended up picking up two take and bake pizzas from Aldi. It did the job.

Sisters, a Brother and Walking Chicago

Summer always seems to mean one thing: weddings. Whether I'm shooting or attending, we're bound to end up at a few every year. This time around we were heading down to Chicago from my big sister Katrina's nuptials. I feel like all our vacations are centered around a wedding or something wedding related. I wish we could go on a vacation without having to worry about being somewhere. It also means a few repetitive trips down I-94. There aren't nearly enough unique stops off the interstate. One outlier is Foster Cheese Haus , the only organic Wisconsin cheese shop I know of. Run by the folks behind Castle Rock Organic Farms , we always try to stop by. Unfortunately for us they were closed on Wednesdays, but at least we got to spy on their darling garden out front. Brooke and I arrived in Necedah. We decided to stop at Brooke's sister Brittany's home along the way to cut the ride in half and get her dressed hemmed. ...

Dakotas Road Trip: Badlands and Black Hills

I thought we would skip Wall Drug this time since we've seen it before but Scott was gun ho on going. Come on. You can't go to the Badlands and skip the world's greatest tourist trap. First stop ice cream. We thought we would have lunch here but after seeing the prices decided we would cook something at the park instead. But first we had to take a couple tourist pics. When we we decided we were coming here I was expecting it to be 90's and hot. Did not think it would be rainy, chilly and foggy. I always make Brooke look cool. She on the other hand always finds a way to take a pic at the most awkward possible moment. Either that or I'm just really awkward. Earlier this year, I asked Theo where he wanted to go on vacations this year. He said he wanted to backpack camp at the Badlands because he was sad he didn't get to go yet. This is all for you buddy.

Japan Trip: Exploring Sangenjaya, Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinjuku in Tokyo

After a 12 hour flight and years of planning we finally made it to Japan. I'd been looking for a decent deal to Japan for ages. Tracking on Google Flights. Searching different points websites. Then finally a flight showed up on Points Yeah the same week Meadow and Theo were off for 3 days. After a nervous half hour of transferring points from our credit card to KLM Air France, we got 4 direct tickets to Tokyo Haneda! Day 1 But first we had to fly and fly and fly. Ready for our longest flight ever. At least we were lucky and got a direct flight. Theo looked nervous. I couldn't really see the kids too well since I was stuck in the center rows with strangers. Meadow, Brooke and Theo got the better end of the deal. He had been worrying about this trip ever since he learned we were going to have to sleep on the plane. Meadow was excited to see that the flight had anime. First time in a long time that I've had a meal on the plane. My chicken curry was pretty good. We got an...
