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?

Our First Visit to the Steele County Fair plus a Twins Game with Friends

This past year Theo's best friend moved to Owatonna. When we came down last May for his birthday party I saw a sign for the Steele County Fair and knew we had to come back for it. First stop is the lemonade stand. Then we hit up the daredevil show. After going to the RV show last February, Theo gets excited to tour campers. They're fun to look at it or rent, but sorry bud, we're sticking to tents for the most part. You know I love a fair that is connected to the historic village. I don't know if this is a common thing, but a few of the county fairs around here have little history centers right on their fairgrounds.

Minneapolis Old House Bike Rides Without the Kids

Brooke and I went on a little bike date again to see some more old houses. This time for one of the tours I was most excited for, Lowry Hill. We started with a history of the Walker Art Museum. This house was built for the architect Frank B. Long of the notable architects Long and Kees. That's quite the roof. Long wouldn't recognize the view from his home. These houses are bit fancy for my taste, but I learned some Minneapolis history along the way. It seemed like on this tour we had to stop at every house on Mount Curve Avenue.

August Adventures Back in Minnesota

I had a brief lull a fter being super busy in the early summer. So I took the kids up to Lindstrom with me to pick up a lens and go on a little adventure. We found a cool little shop along Lindstrom's main drag, A Ghost in the Attic . Meadow wanted every little knickknack. She did get some really cool glow in the dark alien cat earrings. Then we went to the Franconia Sculpture Park . I used to take the kids here every summer. Feel like we hadn't been back in years. We explored for a while, but it was way too hot.
