Last Friday, Cole collected the keys to his new apartment in Minneapolis. He and Brian went and set up some of the big stuff. The three of us will be moving him in in a few days. So exciting. Since I had some time to myself, I decided to meet up with my CrossFit friends and do the Saturday outdoor workout.

On Sunday, our next door neighbors had their annual pig roast and car show. They collect vintage cars, and invite all of their other car enthusiast friends who drive up from Chicago and Minneapolis for this event. There are some pretty impressive vehicles. And I'm not even a car person.

This one was one of my favorites. It was one that drove from Minnesota. So fun.

Our neighbor spends a lot of time on his cars, and built a fantastic garage a few years ago. You should see inside.

The pig roast. Always need an action shot.

Yum yum. Luis is Puerto Rican, and they crush this meal. They invited a bunch of our neighbors over too, which was really fun. Such a great day.

I spied this mom turkey and her three little babies on our walk last week.

On Monday, I took Zeke out on a field trip. I always take one of these photos, and I always look like such a nerd. I just love Monday Field Trips so much. Zeke isn't looking so sure, but trust me, we had a blast.

Cole ran to the park and met up with us. It took Zeke a moment to realize he was not just going on a little walk, and getting to spend some time with us. He didn't want to stop walking. Once he did, he was such a love bug. In fact, Cole said he might have been his favorite dog he's met so far.

He has the largest tongue and legs that look like a pigs. He's pretty awesome. Before I took him back to the shelter, Zeke even got a pup cup from Starbucks. What a great guy.

Brian and I had acupuncture and wanted to go to Conejitos after, but they were on vacation. We ended up a Zocalo food trucks. That place is always so much fun. A bocce league was going on and a run club had just finished. So much energy. I love it. Soy Quien Soy = "I am who I am."

The best part of the week? Getting this photo. Hudson has been on a 3 week flying stint. On Thursday, he started his day in Key West, flew to the Bahamas, Charleston for a fuel stop, then Newark. He took an Uber to the train and met up with Emma for dinner! Then he spent the night at his old roommate from college, Graham's, place. I know this is not an easy job, and being away so much is hard, but these are the moments that are pretty cool.
