On The Nineteenth Day Of Advent We Went To A Holiday Party

We were invited to a neighborhood holiday get together. 

We drank, ate Banana Blossom and caught up with our fellow Jordan neighbors.

Jeff lives down the street from us and is now the Jordan board chair. He had this great family heirloom he wanted me to shoot.

Meadow and Jeff's dog were very interested in each other all night. 

While at the party our next door neighbors texted us asking us to stop over when we got home.

I was nervous that we had been broken into, but they let me know that nothing was wrong.

They had made us bread and cookies and gave two hats and a stuffed animal to Meadow.  Our neighbors are so thoughtful.

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...

Another Hipcamp Adventure: Pine Ridge Tipi and Badlands Backcountry Camping

I was already contemplating where we'd camp next on the way home from our  Appalachian Hipcamp road trip . So I booked a few camps out in South Dakota and Nebraska. I guess this is the summer of Hipcamps.  Hello, South Dakota.

Super Snow Weekend in Minneapolis

I've been talking Brooke's ear off about a really cool DIY ice trail at Wirth Park. So we made a date out of it, she claimed it wasn't going to be cleared and when we got there it was perfect. It snowed the day before with more snow coming this weekend so I thought no way was someone going to go through all that work to shovel. I guess I was wrong.  This was way cooler than I thought it would have been. I wish the kids had been with us. About a dozen other skating enthusiasts were out skating the circuitous circuit.
