Theo's First Haircut and More Breweries

These kids love cereal.

And I love making a fool of myself.

Theo thought it would be fun to put the Duplo bucket on his head while he rides his bike.

I think he was imitating his paba.

Theo has been needing a haircut. I've been afraid to do it because of his curls. But I agreed to do it after Mexico.

He's been needing a haircut for months.

Looking at this photo he definitely was ready.

Yup.

We went with a kid specific hair salon since Theo is known to not sit still. He had no idea what was going on and what was going to happen. He's shy like Meadow and barely moved or reacted when the hair dresser talked to him.

The hairdresser was sad to cut of his curls too. She said she wasn't going to cut it his hair too short so you could still see them.

He was busy watching Paw Patrol.

They even gave us a little certificate with his curls.

We had to pick up more Girl Scout cookies. Theo's haircut was too quick, so we killed some time at a playground.

Scott's Craftapped membership ends soon so we decided to take advantage of it today.

You basically pay $50 for ten beers per month at partner breweries and restaurants. Except you can usually get it for almost half off on Groupon. I broke even easily, but could've used it five times as much.

I thought it was going to be packed, but there were some open tables.

We were going upstairs for pizza anyways.

He is so handsome now with his haircut. Now I wish we had done it sooner.

Theo is Picasso Tile Builder Master.

I love this place.

Some of the better pizza in town and Surly's go to beer. Except they don't have Cynic and Bender any longer. Nonetheless I got a couple new ones that were great.

Scott gets two deals a day so we headed over to Dual Citizen.

I hate when breweries are overcrowded.

This one wasn't too bad.

This place had a kids area too.

Nice curls Theo.

We always bring cards and Picasso Tiles along.

The kids have been mess monsters lately. Clean up time was needed before bed.

Campervan Vacation: San Francsicso, Northern California and the Great Redwoods Forests

Day 1 Minneapolis - San Fransisco And we're off again. This time on an actual planned vacation. Somehow we managed to all get up and eat breakfast despite a relatively early flight to San Jose. Travel Theo is so cute. He didn't remember the last time we took a flight back in 2020 , so we let him sit at the window. He was interested for about 5 seconds. He was more into the movie choices on the back of his seat. Brooke, Meadow and Theo sat on one side and I got to sit with strangers. Unfair. Meadow coordinating as usual. We flew into San Jose despite wanting to start our journey in San Francisco. After debating Caltrain, BART or renting a car, we just took an uber. Not cheap for one person, but basically the same price as our other options with the four of us. An hour or so later we arrived at the Hotel Triton in what I guess is simply called Downtown. Fortunately for us our hotel was right at the gateway to Chinatown. Perfect as we were hungry for lunch. I...

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...

Japan Family Trip - Part II: Exploring the Shrines and Wilds of Nikko

We had originally planned on taking the bullet train down from Tokyo to Kyoto for a day or two. While being epically fast, it was a bit spendy for the four of us. After talking to Brooke's coworker we settled on a two day trip to Nikko and its World Heritage Sites to break up our week in Tokyo. This turned out to be an amazing decision. The town is teaming with beauty from ancient shrines to epic waterfalls and some of the best meals we had on our trip. Kyoto didn't seem all that appealing to me when I started researching which location to go to. I too am glad we chose to head north to Nikko. When we booked our Tobu Nikko Spacia X tickets I upgraded to the premium seats thinking that we'd be sitting facing one another. Instead we ended up with 4 individual seats, two in the first two rows and two in the last two rows. It turned out just fine with the kids sitting in front of us in two groups. Meadow and I were seated at the front of the car. Once in awhile we'd pas...
