Play it Again and a Library in January

Every once and a while Theo remembers I got them Switch Sports as a reward. No one ever wants to play as a family. 😭

I was out late the night before and feeling it this morning.

It must be time to go to a random Hennepin County Library.

I can only be lazy for so long.

This return pile is small compared to normal.

We also needed to get Theo a helmet for skating, so even I tagged along.

Next stop Play It Again Sports. His stick at home is for street hockey, so we also picked a wood stick up for him.

Meadow also got some new ski poles and I picked up some rollerblades for myself.

When we were in Chinatown over Christmas, Theo bought his favorite make your own gummy kit.

Brooke and I went for a walk and picked up some groceries from the co-op.

Since returning from the cottage I haven't managed to get the kids to skate.

Still the best Christmas present ever, Theo?

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.

A Weekend of Bike Rides

With the kids finishing up school we had to treat them to Sushi Train. They picked the downtown location, which meant a family bike ride. Theo asked why we don't go to this location anymore. The other location is more convenient but we agreed to go the one downtown this time. I swear we did in fact eat sushi. We seem to always miss strawberry picking season. This year I was determined to go. Afton Apple was the first place I found that was open for the season. One of their old fields that they were ready to retire was producing a lot of fruit this year.

Work Trip: Carlinville, Illinois and a St Louis Walk on the Hill

Every few shoots for my main client I end up somewhere I'd never heard of before. This time it was Blackburn College in quaint Carlinville, Illiniois. Apparently famous for it's chili factory and its parlor. The family friendly chili parlor faces the town square, meanwhile the Anchor Inn faces the street behind it where the chili is also served alongside beers and rail drinks. I was informed the chili comes with a kick and that was no lie. Knowing this fact I went with the chili mac and I'd do it again. Even though Carlinville is much closer to St Louis, the Anchor is definitely a Cubs bar.
