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.

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.

Another Work Trip to South Florida Means Another Olger Night Out While Brooke and the Kids Go Hiking

My "boss" Vincent sent me back down to Florida to shoot a couple yachts during the Palm Beach International Boat Show. I really wish he'd get more of a heads up when he goes on these trips so we can plan to meet him. Actually this week wouldn't have worked with my work schedule anyway. Maybe next time. I wanted to bring them along, but her coworker was on vacation. So a solo trip it was. I only had to shoot one morning after a couple boats fell through. So I decided to explore the coast between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. I ended up at Cafe Tecun in nearby Lake Worth. And then I made my way down to Fort Lauderdale where I'd meet with my buddy Olger.

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...
