Has it really been three years already?

This is us three years ago. A wonderful, magical day that changed my life forever. Now three happy years later we have a beautiful little baby boy. How amazing those years have been and extremely exciting to realize the adventure is still going strong.

In celebration of our anniversary we went to Cirque Du Soleil at the Target Center Downtown Minneapolis. The show was called Saltimbanco.

Before the show we went on a small downtown walkabout. We went up to the top of the Foshay Tower for a view of the city. Jerimy sipped a free coke. Apparently the bartender didn't think it was worth her time to charge us for a measly soft drink.
I hadn't done all my research first or we could have probably gone to the observation deck on the 32nd floor. It's the only outdoor observation deck in Minneapolis. Maybe next time. The building is still a fantastic piece of art deco design and a snapshot of history.

From there we walked back towards the Target Center to eat dinner at the Loon restaurant. The waitress split one entree for us and gave us extra fries no extra charge. Sweet.

Time for dessert. We picked up some cookies and sat out in the open air plaza near Block E enjoying the weather. Great for people watching, putting your feet up and killing a little time till the show started.

A great night! Where was Oliver during all this?


Oliver spent the night with Mormor. His first night away from home. From what I hear he woke up at 3:15am Saturday morning- to remind his grandparents what it's like to have small children again. But he's so good, he ate and went back to bed till 9am. Mormor will have to share the memories of the evening, she was there.
