Pre RNC in St. Paul

The Republican National Convention comes to St. Paul next week. Weather you're a Democrat, Republican or Independent you have to realize how big and important this is for our town. Anyway, I ventured down to St. Paul this afternoon. Tents are being set up, streets are being blocked off. It was pretty calm but I can imagine that will change sometime very soon.

Lake Calhoun with Juliana

There are some people in this world who can do a steller photo shoot in 15 minuets. My sister, Juliana, is one of those people. Yesterday we made a venture to Lake Calhoun for the first time this summer and managed to beet the rain and get some pretty darn cute pictures.

Thanks for always being a super cute model Jul:)

Big Ships in Duluth

Juliana and I decided to drive to Duluth a few weekends ago, just for the day. The Big Ships Fest brought in more people then Grandma's Marathon, so to say the least it was BUSY. We waited in line about 2 hours just to be on one ship, but it was well worth the wait.


I thought this would be pretty interesting...
Jul, just being Jul.

Happy 50th Anniversary Don & Marvel!

At the end of June Don and Marvel celebrated their 50th (and a half) wedding anniversary. It was a beautiful June day spent with great people.
Don and Marvel with their classic car. (Love it!)

And with their grandkids.

Just the girls.
Sophie, just being Sophie!

A day at the carnival with Aly.

What an amazing 4th of July weekend! Friday Aly and I went to a little 4th of July carnival in Richfield and had some fun.






And we had to indulge in some DQ ice cream cones!

June... If you only lasted all summer.

This week has been one of those weeks that you wait for all year.

Wednesday after work Jul and I headed uptown for some pizza and ice cream. My camera was in hand. I got in a little more play time with the Lens baby and the 5D. Oh, how I love my growing camera set up:)
