CSA Week 8

By
Between this and our garden we've had so many vegetables to eat that we don't have to go to the farmers market. I'm a little sad we don't get to because soo many things are in season right now, but we just don't have room for more.

Sand Dunes State Forest

By
Out of the blue we decided we needed to go camping. Being only a few days after the fourth we decided to head to a state forest. Most state parks are booked this time of year, so the forests are good alternative. On the way I got really hungry. We found a Culver's and ordered a small feast. Of course I got a blueberry malt and a bacon butterburger. The best of all malt flavors. Brooke and I shared cheese curds since she already ate leftovers.

Maple Grove Ice Loop, a Brewery Worthy of a King and a Buffet

By
  Pancakes for breakfast. Even Scott joined us. Brooke decided we should make a day of it. But first we had to go to the library. Theo just kept on handing me the first book he saw. Like everything else, Meadow always says she doesn't want to go to the library. Yet she finds like 20 books every time we go.  Maple Grove's ice loop is just about the only reason we head to this side of the Twin Cities.   Ice skate season is already almost over. They're one of the last ice rinks still open.     Once in a while we can convince Theo that he doesn't need the trainer.   A perfect day.  Meadow wanted to race around the track the entire time. Theo doesn't really need it, but he likes to goes as fast as he can (in spurts) with the ice skating walker grandpa made us. I liked seeing the other handmade trainers. This yellow looks like it has a built in seat in the front.    We kept on skating until the Zamboni had to touch up the ice. I suggested we go play on the playgroun

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

By
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. Don't @ me for doing this, as the kids say. Our kitty has been havin
