Back to the BWCA - Red Rock to American Point via Voyageur Canoe Outfitters

The  kickoff to our Boundary Waters trip started with a cookout in Duluth.   Right along the rocky shores of east Duluth. Burgers and playing in Lake Superior, what could be better for this little bub. We camped at Jay Cooke state park for the night, then drove back to Duluth for some Duluth Grill breakfast. Had we known that we were meeting with Blake and Daniel on the far side of Duluth, we'd have stayed in Two Harbors. But I guess it worked out. Duluth Grill is still delicious. Meadow is now in her, "Why are you taking photos of me" phase. We had some time before getting to Voyageur Canoe Outfitters so stopped in Grand Marais.

More Hockey on Scott's Actual Birthday Back in Minneapolis

I don't know how parents have multiple kids in sports. Two practices and one game a week already feels like a lot.  Theo's game this week was at the Northeast Ice Arena . One of my favorite things about Minneapolis are all of the indoor and outdoor ice rinks. Theo is doing so much better from when he started. Though he does like to go out whenever there is a line change.  Waiting patiently for his shot. I'm so jealous that Theo gets this opportunity to play hockey and it's not expensive. Plus it's really cool that it's a co-ed league. There was supposed to be four teams playing this year but one team backed out. Today's game they split one team into two so all three teams could play. Our little goalie is a trooper. Theo continues to be great on defense and working on his offensive of skills.  Since we were in Northeast and I needed more dishwashing bars, we stopped by my favorite store: Tare Market .  It's kind of like the bulk section at the co-op or Wh...

Almost 40 at Cottage

Despite a super cold weekend and a lot going on back in Minneapolis we spent Scott's birthday weekend at the cottage. I immediately got to my project of untangling one of our kites.  I was super grateful that we got to get out of Minneapolis a few times during the worst of the ICE immigration crackdown. During the week I was watching Theo's school each day. His school is something like 60 or 70% immigrants. Up here we could pretend things were normal in the world. Yeah, I guess you could say it was cold out. I tried out the throwing boiling water in the air trick.  I wonder how often people get scalded doing this. I'm a bit of a worrier. You thought this was going to keep us indoors the whole weekend? No one was out. I have never heard it so quiet up here. I thought I was hearing branches snap but I guess it was sap freezing.  This is how I looked after walking down the street and back.  I guess this would be a good weekend to puzzle.  I can't really remember wh...
