Halloween in Kingfield and an Early November Bike Ride to Minneapolis Central Library

By
Another year of Halloween trick or treating in Minneapolis. Mostly up into Kingfield this year.

This year Meadow's friend Saraphina joined us for trick or treating. 

Meadow was a mushroom witch and Theo was a bald eagle. Good job with Theo's costume Brookie.



We mostly trick or treated in Kingfield this year.




Big kitty. Meadow probably liked this yard the best.



Trick or treating out of the ghostbuster mobile was one of the highlights of the night.


We always have to include the pumpkin house on our route.

I'm partial to the eyeball house. I hope the owner is an eye doctor.



One last stop at the spooky house around the block.


The best thing about getting candy on halloween was sorting it afterwards. Scott didn't believe me that that was a thing. 

It's not a thing. But y'all can do whatever you want.

Theo helped me with breakfast this morning. 


German apple pancake and eggs. 

Homework after breakfast.


And a little bit of sewing. 

It had snowed on Halloween and Theo made a snowman. It was still hanging on a couple days later. 


After taking off the monkey bars we realized it was better having them on. 

Theo likes playing around back there. Might as well keep him on the bike.

We took a ride to the Central Library on this warm beginning to November.



It's still very much fall here.

The trees have hardly changed colors.


We hadn't been to the downtown library in awhile. Now that Meadow is reading teen books I wanted to take her to the teen section at this library. 

The teen section is no more and it moved to the children's area. 

Noooo!!!!

I clearly love going to the library.


We played for a bit before biking back home. 

After deep cleaning the good old Honda Insight, I decided to get an upholstery/carpet cleaner. Now it's time to sell our sweet, sweet Honda. 285,000 plus miles and still going strong.

I had a feeling the water would be gross. We should have bought one of these years ago. 

Chelsea got Meadow a cardboard house. It was supposed to be just for her but she has shared it with Theo too. 

I was very confused since Meadow is getting older, but I guess she did ask for it. She's grown up a lot in the last year, but she's still a little girl from time to time.

Today's goal was to clean up Meadow's art area under her bed. 

So much better. 


I would have loved having a reading nook or art area under my bed. Lucky kids.

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

By
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...

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.

RV Spring Break: Las Vegas to Salt Lake City via the Utah Big 5

By
For Spring Break this year we relocated an RV once again. Instead of taking one of the new factory vehicles from Indiana or Iowa, we found a shorter relocation from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City. That meant the perfect route to see Utah's Big Five National Parks. As much as I like picking up new vehicles I thought it would be nice to have a shorter drive so we didn't feel as rushed.  Day 1 - Las Vegas We started off our spring break trip in Las Vegas. When looking at hotels, I thought the kids would be blown away by Caesars Palace. It was somehow less than $200 a night, so why not? Scott wasn't sure about going out onto the strip at night with kids. Being that its spring break season there were other families out. And scantily clad women with their boobs hanging out. That's all hours of the day here.  We'd only briefly stopped by here during the day a couple years back. It was a short stop on our way from the Grand Canyon to Death Valley.  Brooke came back and raved a...
