While Scott Goes to Vermont We Go on an Adventure

Every morning must start with Nintendo Switch time. 

Every morning must always start with porch breakfast. 

Theo told me he wants to start learning how to cook and bake. We started our first lesson with making scrambled eggs. 

Also Theo decided earlier this week he wanted his haircut. He was sick of his hair blowing in his eyes and touching his neck. He also mentioned that a couple kids at school asked if he was a boy or girl. 

Today was library day. Theo always complains about going but then loves playing with all the toys. 


We've officially reached the age of finding books in the Teen section. 

We picked up some food for lunch and had a picnic at Nearstrand State Park. The wasps wouldn't leave us alone until we put away anything sweet. 

First, play in the leaves. 



Next, climb trees. 


Then, play on the nature playground. 

Now we can see the waterfall. I had been wanting to take the kids here all summer. Wish I had when there was more rain and the waterfall would have existed. 

Not as much fun as Gooseberry Falls. 



Then we did the hiking club trail. We only needed a couple more miles to earn our 50 mile badge


Meadow carried this branch most of the way. 

Nice job, kiddos. We earned our 25 mile badge in 2021. 

I told the kids if they were good hikers we could get ice cream.


Back at home I worked on knitting a knitted vest for Meadow. 

Theo worked on his sewing and Meadow worked on her rug hook.

We have been loving the Little House on the Prairie series lately.

Theo added his name to his project. 
 
Meadow has also been obsessed with making bracelets.

Not quite Vermont but we still had fun.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast.   Scott added granola to his oatmeal.  The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it.   Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof.  Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

Work Trip: Scott Goes to Florida

As I mentioned in the last post, I had a job down in Florida at the tail end of the week. Daytona Beach to be precise.    I proposed the whole family tag along, but they did not like the idea of Florida in the Summer. Anyways, after my shoot I checked Ormond Beach just to the north of Daytona. Theo is allergic to the sun and I knew he would hate going.  If there wasn't four lanes of busy traffic, this town would be great.

4th of July 2025: Our Annual Romenesko Reunion

4th of July, you say? Of course we were going up to Three Lakes and the cottage. I took a half day on Thursday and we headed to the cottage. Scott had to stop in Lindstrom which brought us to an old favorite for lunch in Taylor's Falls, The Drive In .
