Donut Sundaes, Farmers Market Sundays and Canoeing Lake Harriet on a Sunday

We're trying to enjoy our last few weeks in our condo and the neighborhood. We have been going for daily walks, to the park mostly.

We will miss the park so much.

I saw on Instagram that Bogart's now has donut sundaes. We convinced the kids to leave their kickball game to go get some.

Also loving our new blender.

Thanks basement store.

Not our neighborhood but one last trip to the farmer's market for the season. With our busy summer we barely made it out this year.

There's nothing better than a farmers market visit.

The house around the corner from our condo was having a rummage sale. We were hoping for the toy chest for Meadow's costumes but it was already sold.

As much as Scott hates it we had to get one more canoe ride in.

I like canoeing. I don't love lugging it to the lake on a cart.

This time it wasn't windy so we could go all the way around the lake.

Theo tried fishing to pass time.

Can't believe it took us nearly four years to do this.

Was fun to pass and see all the sailboats up close.

We liked reading all the names of the boats.

We also had to get ice cream at Bread and Pickle.

Another one of our neighborhood favorites, but we'll be back.

We made one last stop at the beach before heading home.

Hey, it's one of those giant row boats we saw on the St Croix.

We have a few more 80 degree days this week so I'll have to take the kids back for one last swim at the beach.

An Appalachian Hipcamp Road Trip: A MKE and O-HI-O pitstop on the way to Tawney Farm, West Virginia

Day 1 Scott had gotten a lucky gig to check out some off the beaten path campsites for Hipcamp. Our trip was going to bring us to the Appalachians. We packed our car full and headed east "early" Friday morning. Early for us is never that early, but at least we got out on the road at a decent hour. While driving through Madison we stopped at Cabela's to pick up a few more supplies that we would need. Our original plan was to make it to Indiana Sand Dunes tonight. Scott mentioned that if we drive through Milwaukee we could skip the Chicago tolls. I agreed and then he asked if we could stop in Cudahy to say hi to the folks. I said we might as well stay the night. When we got there we went to Tsing Tao with my dad, my childhood favorite restaurant. It's in an old Ihop and has a great buffet at any time of the day. Sorry Scott, I wasn't impressed. That's because your pretentious. Anyways, Meadow decided she didn't want t

Sunday February 20, 2011

They've been saying for days we were going to have snowstorm today. I wake up to this. Cloudy but no snow yet. As usual I get up before Scott. Sunday's are Pick-On-Peanut days. I start making breakfast. While it bakes in the oven I get dressed. It has started snowing so I figure its a sweater kind of day. Mmm pannekoeken or BIG PANCAKE. This is Scott's "why do you always have to take pictures of me face" Because I say, I'm the only one taking pictures" We have things to do snow or no snow. We stop at Theodore Wirth to look at a possible wedding venue. We like what we see. Then we go to our favorite antique store Hunt and Gather. Everything is 20% off this weekend. We find a few things to spruce up our house. Since we were close by we go grocery shopping at the new Linden Hills Coop. Not to sound snobbish but we were disappointed with the stores lack of local items. The bulk section didn't have any noodles either. We probably won't be shopping her

A Tettegouche Camp Cabin and Roller Garden Brooke Birthday

Saturday It's become a yearly tradition to stay at a cabin for my birthday. Since Saturday night was the only night that worked for us this year, our locations to stay at were slim. We had casually checked places all week. We hoped to stay somewhere with snow, but all those places were far away or booked. We decided to wait to see what was available on Saturday.
