Coronavirus: Week 3

Meadow's suddenly a Facetime fanatic.



Brooke's parents were supposed to be here this weekend, but couldn't come up after the stay at home orders were put in place.

Plus Ikea and all the breweries are closed. They're literally nothing for them to do. 

After a cold and rainy weekend the sun finally came out.

Because of the increase in pedestrians Minneapolis closed off some of the parkways to cars. 

It was relatively quiet along the parkway.

Most people still stuck to the trails.


Theo was really digging the sunset.


I totally understand why everyone wants to get out.


This was also Meadow's spring break week. Brooke had to work, but the rest of us tried to have fun.

theo is climbing.

theo is still climbing.

me and theo were climbing on rocks.

We started to bike down the parkway, but it was nuts now that everyone realized that it was closed. We instead found a quiet place to adventure at the nearby peace garden.

Meadow and the neighbor boy played a game called whoosh ball. They also like to chat with each other from 20 feet apart.

Meadow claims its wish ball.

The kids and I have playing all kinds of games on our double wide driveway we share with the neighboring condo. I even swept up all the loose gravel that gets dislodged by our snowplow driver.

Meadow is going to be pro wiffle ball player at the end of this.

i'm not that good at bating.

Meadow didn't want to come with Theo and I on a bike ride. So, just Theo and I went for a ride.


Meadow is not the only one who loves to cook.

Thanks for the breakfast Theo.

I couldn't find Theo and then I heard him giggling. I found him hiding behind our shelf.

So...now they say we should wear masks when in public. Luckily I have materials to make some from home. I started with a child mask for Meadow.

Looking cool and safe.

I continue to make some of our favorites on a nightly basis.

Meadow doesn't really leave the house except to play outside. She still insisted on wearing her mask on our bike ride.

We went for a short ride and then returned home for movie night.

Movie night means popcorn for these kids.

We watched the new release of Onward on Disney+.

Also rearranged our living room this week. 

And Theo went diving for popcorn. The end.

RV Spring Break: Savannah to Miami

Oh, hey, we made it to Savannah. Time for a nice stroll (well, as leisurely as Brooke will allow).   I was pretty excited to be going to Savannah, even if we could only stay for a few hours. The tricky thing with having an RV is finding a place to park. The Fahm Avenue parking lot had RV spots and then we walked over to the historic district. Meadow should go to the Savannah College of Art and Design. You know, if she can get a scholarship. Savannah is just as cool in person as you think. I should have done at least one house tour. I had to embarrass Meadow with taking her photo in front of the first Girl Scout Headquarters.  Brooke got me to go into the beautiful Catholic church right in the historic district. I don't think I've ever been in a Cathedral Basilica. Usually it's one or the other. It seems like every few blocks there was a perfect square. We should build all cities like this. For lunch we went to Savannah Smokehouse . We ended up getting the sampler for 2, whi...

A Schools Out for Summer Bike Ride

Summer was finally here and we've all got bikes once again! When the kids want crepes, you gotta make them. Theo even helped me this time. Guess we could have used a bigger table out here.  We needed to scout a spot for Meadow's birthday party. We thought today we'd take a family bike ride on Minnehaha Parkway. Meadow got a new helmet over Memorial Weekend which really completed her new bike set up. She's so cute.  We stopped at Lyndale Farmstead Bike shop to fix the grips on Theo's bike.  Good as new. Always love Minneapolis in the spring. This spot seemed like a good one.  Theo wanted a portrait too. There was rain coming so we stopped to wait it out under the Nicollet Avenue bridge. We also saw a few people canoeing and kayaking on the creek.  These guys had the same idea as us.
