Theo's 4th Birthday, Fun Day

By

 

After a busy last few months at work and at home I took Friday off to spend the day with Theo. First up was asking him what he wanted for his birthday breakfast. He chose a chocolate big pancake. 
 
 
I told him we can do whatever he wanted today. I thought we might go to the childrens museum or something but he just wanted to play toys. 
 
 

We also had to celebrate his birthday on Animal Crossing.

 
Lucky guy got to spend his whole day with mama and papa. Since we've been getting our condo ready to sell, moving and most recently fixing up the rental, we've been so busy. 

Next Theo wanted to go to the Bobolokin Woods.

I sure do miss walking over here everyday. Felt kind of weird to drive over. 


Going to Boblikin woods was at least what he said. Really he just wanted to play under the trees at the Peace Garden.

He was having a blast. 


Soon the wind picked up and we convinced him to go to the toy store to pick out a toy. He wanted to stay all day. 

Then we picked up his cake. Theo chose an ice cream cake and we let the little bub choose one in person. He went with the Oreo Ice Cream Cake at Sebastian Joe's.

At the Hobby Shop he chose a remote control car. He has been asking for one for awhile now. 

Lucky kid. His very own remote control car. 

Since the rental is empty we decided to race it around down there.

For dinner we went to Sushi Train. With Omicron cases in retreat, we thought we'd have some fun. Who knows when the next surge of cases will pop up?

This kid loves his sushi. 

These kids too. 



 
Meadow and Brooke said I ate too many fancy ones. Whoops.
 
We eat a lot in general.  

Back at home it was present time. 


Theo was excited for present time.

He's been wanting his own art supplies. Now he doesn't have to share with Theo or use up our tape. 


From Gigi he got slinkys. 

And a northwoods counting book. 

Then one last surprise from Meadow. 

His own bean bag chair. 
 
So excited to try his new paint set.
 
I was excited for the decadent ice cream cake.




Happy birthday, little bub!
 
We love you!

Iron Range Camping for Work and Fun

By
Scott had more shoots this weekend. This time it took us way up north. With Meadow back in school we left Friday afternoon.  Luckily Meadow's teacher canceled their afternoon meeting and we were able to leave earlier than we planned. To break up the long drive we camped for the night at Mille Lacs Kathio State Park . We booked the last site, I can't believe people are still camping. When we were setting up our tent Meadow said, "Why are other people so close to us?" We don't go to normal campgrounds very often I guess.  We set up early and went on a hike before dinner. We should have brought our canoe along, but a hike would do.

A Weekend of Bike Rides

By
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.

Work Trip: Carlinville, Illinois and a St Louis Walk on the Hill

By
Every few shoots for my main client I end up somewhere I'd never heard of before. This time it was Blackburn College in quaint Carlinville, Illiniois. Apparently famous for it's chili factory and its parlor. The family friendly chili parlor faces the town square, meanwhile the Anchor Inn faces the street behind it where the chili is also served alongside beers and rail drinks.  I was informed the chili comes with a kick and that was no lie. Knowing this fact I went with the chili mac and I'd do it again. Even though Carlinville is much closer to St Louis, the Anchor is definitely a Cubs bar.
