Donuts and Shelf Installs

Hey our living room is clean.

It certainly isn't anymore as I type.

We had plans to go to Duluth this weekend for the Duluth Preservation Alliance Tour. I just so happened to sit next to one of our tires and thank God I did.

This sucked on two levels. We couldn't have a Duluth weekend with Blake and Daniel and we had to replace our tires just as we were set to sell our Honda Insight.

Somehow Theo talked us into getting donuts at Bogarts.

It really isn't too hard to do that.

True.

Lucky Theo got one of the last s'mores donuts.

I don't think I've ever seen this intersection this busy.

I think its the new protected bikeway on Bryant. It's kind of a big deal.

Pecan was sleeping in Theo's bed so Theo tucked her in.

Meadow went to a friends house so Theo and I played Candy Land.

It was time to hang up a few things up in Meadow's room.

With Meadow gone and no other plans today we decided to finally finish Meadow's bedroom.

I have a fancy stud finder, but I still find it rather unprecise.

Meadow needed these shelves for all her knick knacks. And we had to hang the big photo of her favorite kitty.

Theo organized Candy Land after they played.

When Meadow returned we had ramen.

It's one of our new go-to meals recently. Meadow has been obsessed with it since we watched all the Ghibli films.

A Texas-Louisiana-Arkansas Hipcamp Road Trip: Back to Arkansas and a Night in Iowa

I hadn't really planned on driving through Mississippi, so I found a route that took us back through Lousiana and into Arkansas. Before we made it to the Land of the Downriver People we stopped in Monroe for some soul food.

A Smoky Weekend at the Cottage and a Stop at Ladysmith's Northland Mardi Gras

This summer we decided to go to the cottage any weekend we had nothing else going on. This week, due to fires in the Boundary Waters and Canada, the air quality was pretty terrible. We debated if we should still go, but it looked like it would clear up by Saturday. So we took the chance. And by terrible, we mean the worst air quality we'd ever seen. Along the way we decided to stop at John and Heidi's Happy Daze . We've passed this place probably 100 times. It was about time to stop by. I ordered the prime rib sandwich special. Yummy. The sandwich that is. Everybody's food was really good, but Brooke's was the star of the show. I want to get back here asap. Now if only this pesky smoke would go away.

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...
