The Last Weekend on Bryant Avenue We Made it to Open Streets

We've been making sure that Meadow plays with the neighbor kids before we move. We'll really miss their whole family.

All of our neighbors have been great.

Theo swung while I attempted to pack the garage.

The kids have been making do with what's left that we haven't packed yet.

Packing is a lot of work. So much stuff.

The days are still warm so we took one last trip to the neighborhood playground.

We've been making meals out of what we have in the house already. That way we have less food to pack since we have to fit everything in the fridge into a couple coolers.

Hopefully we won't need masks soon.

Our last Sunday in the condo happened to be Open Streets Lyndale. We were busy most of the day but made it for the last couple hours. First we had to drop off all our library books.

I still don't get why we don't do Open Streets every Sunday like they do in Mexico City and much of Latin America.

Theo is still afraid of other kids.

We made it only as far as Sonny's so why not stop for ice cream.

Mmmm...ice cream.

Boundary Waters Yurt Camping

Early in the week I found out that we had a chance to stay at a yurt in the Boundary Waters . Hipcamp's an awesome new site that helps you find pretty much any campsite. Since we didn't have any plans and we could stay in Duluth halfway we took the bait. We didn't need our tent or camp pads, so we packed a little different than normal.

Stillwater Waterfall and MN River Valley Hiking

Scott had to take some sunset photos in Stillwater. A fall color aerial 360. I hadn't been there in awhile so we tagged along. We left as soon as Meadow was done for school and headed for the St Croix Boom Site. I had heard there was a hidden waterfall and wanted to check it out. There's not a specific trail to it. From what I read you go down the stairs and take a left following the river. I think it's an old state trail that isn't maintained and has way too much graffiti.

Sushi Sunday Returns

Today I woke up before Scott and surprised him by making big pancakes. I was so excited, but I had to take a quick shower first. He didn't know I was making breakfast and woke up too late. He had to scarf it down before heading to work. I'm not going to complain that Scott had to work on a Sunday again. Yea it sucks, but I need to be more thankful that he has a job. It may not be the best he's had or the worst and the pay isn't phenomenal, but life isn't always fair. Instead of dwelling on the things I don't like I need to be more happy about the things in life that are great. After he left I spent time on-and-off working on this puzzle. It's a lot easier to see the many colors when the suns out. I think I found about 3 more pieces. Then I ordered more seeds online . Last year we figured we had enough, but then we realized we really want to grow kale and chard and popcorn. I know it's a little early to be getting excited abo...
