Our First Family Bike Ride of 2022

 

On Friday night Meadow and I started a game of Monopoly. I couldn't remember exactly how to play so I read the directions. Wow we were playing all wrong as kids. I thought we'd actually play by the rules this time.

Waffles for breakfast this week.

Meadow built a house for Theo out of Magnatiles. A very fragile home.

For some reason the kids love to climb on the old compost bins in our yard.
 
 

40 degrees and no more snow on the streets means bike ride season is back. 

We needed to go to the library and thought we would bike over to the Lake Street library via the Midtown Greenway. Getting to the greenway isn't as easy as our old place but that should change this summer. 
 
Right now the bike lane in front of our house is only one way. By June it will be a two way curb-protected bike lane all the way to downtown. 

We've been wearing masks again in public places since Omicron.

It feels like the only thing that survived Lake-Hiawatha during the riots was the library.

Still snow on the southern half of the greenway.


The kids wanted to stay outside and read their books. 

I brought out the play tents so they'd have somewhere better to read.

Eventually they came back in, still reading books. 

And the book reading continued into the porch. 

Okay, I guess I could do one minor house project. Clean up the hardware on our kitchen cabinets. 

Was disappointed after polishing to see some of the copper plating was already worn off in some spots. Makes me not want to do any of the other hardware. 

I guess you win some and you lose some. At least you tried.

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. Don't @ me for doing this, as the kids say. Our kitty has been havin

Mille Lacs for the Day

Yesterday I made yogurt and today it was ready to go in the fridge. 

Honeymoon: Madeline Island Without a Kayak? At Least We Brought Bikes.

We made it safely to Bayfield without getting attacked by any bears . I think that's because of my wily driving skills.
