Library and Hair Dye

As usual, Meadow requested big pancake for breakfast.

Soon it will be Theo making the requests. For now it's just an affirmative, "Yay!"

The best breakfast.

We didn't really have plans today except to go to the library.

Meadow dressed up for the occasion.

Meadow's doing a biography on Maria Sharapova at school. The downtown library was the only one that had a kids book about her.

This kiddo doesn't get to the library as much as his sister used to.

We hadn't been to the library in awhile so Meadow stocked up.

More dress up shenanigans at home.

She also got to try the Oculus Go VR headset I got to show my virtual tours at an upcoming conference.

We didn't do much the rest of the day. Theo did manage to detune the guitar a few times.

We ended the night with Meadow and I dying our hair magenta.

Iron Range Camping for Work and Fun

Scott had more shoots this weekend. This time it took us way up north. With Meadow back in school we left Friday afternoon. Luckily Meadow's teacher canceled their afternoon meeting and we were able to leave earlier than we planned. To break up the long drive we camped for the night at Mille Lacs Kathio State Park . We booked the last site, I can't believe people are still camping. When we were setting up our tent Meadow said, "Why are other people so close to us?" We don't go to normal campgrounds very often I guess. We set up early and went on a hike before dinner. We should have brought our canoe along, but a hike would do.

A Weekend of Bike Rides

With the kids finishing up school we had to treat them to Sushi Train. They picked the downtown location, which meant a family bike ride. Theo asked why we don't go to this location anymore. The other location is more convenient but we agreed to go the one downtown this time. I swear we did in fact eat sushi. We seem to always miss strawberry picking season. This year I was determined to go. Afton Apple was the first place I found that was open for the season. One of their old fields that they were ready to retire was producing a lot of fruit this year.

Work Trip: Carlinville, Illinois and a St Louis Walk on the Hill

Every few shoots for my main client I end up somewhere I'd never heard of before. This time it was Blackburn College in quaint Carlinville, Illiniois. Apparently famous for it's chili factory and its parlor. The family friendly chili parlor faces the town square, meanwhile the Anchor Inn faces the street behind it where the chili is also served alongside beers and rail drinks. I was informed the chili comes with a kick and that was no lie. Knowing this fact I went with the chili mac and I'd do it again. Even though Carlinville is much closer to St Louis, the Anchor is definitely a Cubs bar.
