Creative Genes

 Everyone in my family is creative in their own way, they all can sew including my Dad. I wanted to give a shout out to two of my talented siblings.

 If you have kids or know somebody who's having one my big sis makes handmade items for your special little someone. This tie bib is just too cute. She also does non-kid items.  Most of things she makes are made with scrap fabric that would otherwise be thrown away. My crafty dad even helps out with the looms. You can check out fun tips and upcoming sales at her blog here.

My little brother is away at his first year of college up in Duluth, studying photography. He's also started a photo diary documenting his adventures up there. I thought I'd seen everything there is to do in Duluth, but he's proven there's plenty to do and see.

A Tettegouche Camp Cabin and Roller Garden Brooke Birthday

Another Work Trip to South Florida Means Another Olger Night Out While Brooke and the Kids Go Hiking

  My "boss" Vincent sent me back down to Florida to shoot a couple yachts during the Palm Beach International Boat Show. I really wish he'd get more of a heads up when he goes on these trips so we can plan to meet him. Actually this week wouldn't have worked with my work schedule anyway. Maybe next time.  I wanted to bring them along, but her coworker was on vacation. So a solo trip it was. I only had to shoot one morning after a couple boats fell through. So I decided to explore the coast between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. I ended up at Cafe Tecun in nearby Lake Worth. And then I made my way down to Fort Lauderdale where I'd meet with my buddy Olger.

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Day 1  Back in May I stumbled upon Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I had no idea there was a National Park in North Dakota and that it was the northern end of the Badlands. Usually our summer vacations coincide with Scott's work trips. Since he didn't have any this summer I thought we should take advantage of actually taking a vacation. What, my workcations are always classics? I suppose a second real vacation this year wouldn't hurt. We definitely have more time than normal. As long as we took Covid-19  precautions and avoided people. We finally settled on a time to go. Blake joined us so we borrowed our dad's van so we could ride together. Scott had just driven from Michigan the day before. Blake had met my parents in Wisconsin to get the van and then drove from Duluth to pick us up. I offered to drive since I literally only drive twice a month.  I was still pretty tired from a long drive home. Since we were near Fergus Falls we had to stop by the abandoned state ho...
