Backyard Ice Skating, Pancake Bundt and a Packers Sushi Saturday

Below freezing temps means ice molds.
 
I'd make more but I know it will just warm up soon. 

After a week of single digit temps the forecast was set for temps into the 30s and then 40s. Boo hiss.

Meadow finally decided she was brave enough to get her ears pierced. We made an appointment at Rowan at the MOA and she actually went through with it. 

Makes me want to get my ears repierced. 

Wait you let your ears close up? Sometimes I miss things.

Yeah, when I had babies that pull on things. 

For breakfast the next day I made a pancake bundt. Theo couldn't wait to eat it I guess. 


I'm not sure I'd call it a pancake bundt, but it was good and you put maple syrup sauce on top of it.

After breakfast, more skating. 

The kids and I have been skating throughout the week knowing the rink might get a bit mushy in a week or so.

The sun melts the ice slightly and it basically resurfaces itself. 

Unless you're a perfectionist, you don't really need to resurface all that often. Now if we got a decent snowfall, that would all change.



We have a little sitting area setup by the backdoor for when we need a break.

Our hockey sticks are up at the cottage, but a little broom hockey will do.



Theo likes to see how fast he can get across the ice without his trainer. I guess he forgot to stop and flipped over the rink. 

I thought I had a video, but I stopped recording just as he went overboard.

Theo wanted to play with papa when we went back inside.

I picked out our old-school Playskool Vactionland.


Almost all the Christmas decorations are put away which means it's time to take out the Valentine's decor. 

Theo loves putting on my clothes. What's up with kiddos doing that?

And nimming his blankie pants. 

Everyone else was busy playing video games, so I started reorganizing our linen closet. I forgot to take a photo of the before. It was very messy and confusing. 

Wait, I was making dinner.

Somehow homemade sushi has become Brooke's least favorite meal. But the kiddos love it. So, IDK?

Theo watched the whole Packers game. I'm so proud of my little guy. Too bad the 49ers took the lead at last second. But heck guys, we've got Jordan Love and we'll rule the NFC North for another decade.

I ran to Ikea quick to pick up more bins. Looks like I could use a few more still.

RV Spring Break: Savannah to Miami

Oh, hey, we made it to Savannah. Time for a nice stroll (well, as leisurely as Brooke will allow).   I was pretty excited to be going to Savannah, even if we could only stay for a few hours. The tricky thing with having an RV is finding a place to park. The Fahm Avenue parking lot had RV spots and then we walked over to the historic district. Meadow should go to the Savannah College of Art and Design. You know, if she can get a scholarship. Savannah is just as cool in person as you think. I should have done at least one house tour. I had to embarrass Meadow with taking her photo in front of the first Girl Scout Headquarters.  Brooke got me to go into the beautiful Catholic church right in the historic district. I don't think I've ever been in a Cathedral Basilica. Usually it's one or the other. It seems like every few blocks there was a perfect square. We should build all cities like this. For lunch we went to Savannah Smokehouse . We ended up getting the sampler for 2, whi...

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...
