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.

Chicago Chrismukkah + Michigander Xmas

Before heading out on our trip we let the kids open their Christmas gifts from us. A knitted sweater for Theo and a kitty dress for Meadow (I fixed the straps for her) both made by me. I wanna a sweater. Scott got them new compact sleeping bags. We all got smaller sleeping bags this year and we'll now have a lot more room in our car. This year we had talked about hosting my family at the cottage. Then meeting up in Milwaukee, then meeting in Chicago. But in the end we made stops in Chicago and Lowell this Christmas. We left on a Sunday which was nice to have a few days to prepare. On the way down to Chicago we stopped at our favorite roadside restaurant, Foster Cheese Haus. We had plans to break up our drives so we didn't have to rush like we normally do. We had made it just before the cheese haus was set to close for the winter. Just not enough folks stop here in winter and snowmobile season is becoming shorter and shorter this far so...

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. Luckily today turned out to be a cooler day. I treated the kids to strawberry shakes. Then we drove over to Prescott to pick up some food for lunch and ate at Point Douglas Park. Then we did some hiking at Carpenter Nature Center to do some geocaching. Later Scott and I bike through some rain to Northeast to go to the soon to be closing Bauhaus one last time. Gonna miss you Bauhaus. In the mornin...

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...
