Holidazzle in the Year 2022

We got some snow recently and Meadow and Theo actually played outside. Meadow made Theo a throne out of snow. 

Nothing better than a snowy Minneapolis night walk.

The kids needed to see Santa. We decided to visit him at Holidazzle. We made a night of it by walking to dinner first. 

It looks like RGB has been displaced by the Ukrainian president.


We are probably the only parents that walk with their kids to Lyn-Lake at night.

I really don't understand city families who avoid the city they live in.


We went to Wrecktangle's new-ish location at Lyn-Lake.

This pizza was delicious. 

Then we hopped on the bus to Loring Park. The first thing the kids spotted at Holidazzle were the light up teeter totters. 

Seeing Santa at Holidazzle was great, we waited in line for 3 minutes. 

Meadow was so brave and told Santa what she wanted and what Theo wanted. Meadow asked for the complete Babysitters Club graphic novel series and the book Smile. For Theo he wants Legend of Zelda Breath of Wild bow and arrow.

She can talk to adults! But I guess only Santa.
 
Theo was loving this climbing wall until he took a tumble.

We went to Holidazzle the first year it started and were not impressed. They definitely made it much better since then. This year they added free rides. 

Theo was into the rides. 

Meadow not so much.

She wanted to go back on the seesaw.

The seesaws were taken, so we took them back to the hay bales and climbing wall.


We checked out some of the vendors. 


Now Meadow was ready for rides. 



We all played with the yeti puppet. Probably the coolest thing at Holidazzle.



They finally got another chance on the seesaw.

One more ride before heading home.

Theo was brave enough to go the down the big slide with me.

Iron Range Camping for Work and Fun

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.

Meadow's 13th Birthday Party

We woke up to down pouring rain.  Once the rain had slowed down, Theo and I walked over to the Kingfield Farmers Market. Theo picked another Bundt cake as his treat. I have never seen it so dead.  I got some rhubarb to make jam and Israeli bagels that I wasn't expecting to be long. On our walk home we also picked up some free pots and a Minecraft book.  Both of our vacuums have bit the dust. I was trying to hold out until Black Friday to buy another one when I saw there was deals thanks to Prime Day. Theo said he's never seen me this excited before, not even my birthday.  I used up all of my gift cards I'd earned from Medica. Yeah, I know, it's weird. Walking for two years got us a vacuum. I had vacuumed in the morning with our old vacuum and then again with our new one. Ew. Usually I'm the one stressing out before guests come over but this time it was Scott. He was deep cleaning everything.  We both have blind spots for different parts of the house I guess. We ...
