dance recital, birthday dinner, edina art fair

2 posts today! if you missed my sees candy recap, it's right below this post. 

friday night i attended my best friend kelli's annual dance recital. she has been dancing since she was 3 (i danced too for a few years) and it's become tradition to go to her recital every year with her mom, grandma, and aunt. as always, it was fun to watch her and all the other performers. after the show, we all headed to pizza luce for a late dinner, which was delicious! a fun night! 

saturday morning we woke up to bright blue skies and sunshine, which has been hard to come by for the last few weeks. thatcher was going on a bike tour with some people, so azalea and i took a little trip to target and then went to the park by our house. it was so beautiful out! my brother met us at the park and played with her for a bit, which she loved. he took this picture of azalea and i just adore it. 

while azalea napped in the afternoon, i cleaned the house and relaxed. in the evening, i went to a 30th birthday dinner for my good friends jackie and becky at pf changs. it was fun to hang out with them and some other girls and eat tons of yummy food! 

the annual southwest community ed (where thatcher and i worked and met) potluck bbq was also saturday night, so i met thatcher and azalea there after my dinner. 

sunday morning we ran some errands then i took azalea to my grandma's for a little visit. my brother and cousin jenna came along too. in the afternoon, i went to the edina art fair with my friend diana. didn't buy any art (i just love to look), but i did get some kettle corn and ice cream :) in the evening, we headed to our next door neighbors' for dinner. kebabs, salad, and fruit, on their back patio. perfection! it was a little cool out, but still nice to have a "summer" night outside!
