Duluth Easter 2025

By
After missing last year we were back in Duluth for Easter 2025. Friday night means Friday night fish fry at The Shack.

I always get something else when we come here and then look longingly at Brooke, Blake and Daniel's fish fry.  

The kids and I all got burgers.

 
While these jokesters played, Daniel and I went to an improv show at the Zeitgeist, which I failed to take photos of.

The rest of us were not feeling it. Plus somebody had to watch the kiddos.
 
Blake has a foot massager. I thought I would try it out. I did not like it.

Machines: 0
Scottie: 1

Blake made us French Toast for breakfast.

 
Part of our science museum membership includes admission to the Duluth Children's Museum. 

Well, it lets us into hundreds of science museums. We've been to a handful or two this year.

I hadn't been here since Meadow was really little. It was nothing like the old one. Everything was just on one floor. Also my kids might be getting too old for these museums. Or this one seemed more geared towards toddlers. 

We still had fun.

I think the actual Minnesota Children's Museum would still be fun, but we made due.


After Blake did his Easter errands we met up for lunch at Northern Waters Smokehaus.

For years I thought it was just a smoked fish joint. Look what I've been missing out on.  

I wanted to come to Canal Park to pick up a mother's day gift for my mom. A couple summers ago I noticed they had hummingbird feeders at the Lake Superior Art Glass store. 

Afterwards we decided to play bocce in Blake's old neighborhood.

I thought the kids would love this game. Well Meadow played, Theo wouldn't dare try.

He hates competition.  

I needed a couple things for my Easter dessert. We stopped at Kwik Trip where Scott picked up ice cream. The ice cream was then demolished once we got back to Blake's.

I was trying to save money. Should've bought two gallons.  

Me, Blake and the kids dyed Easter eggs with a natural dye kit that I've been hanging onto for years.


So nature like.

Do you know that Brooke's family just leaves these out for weeks after Easter at room temp. Yeah, don't do that.

Good morning, time to find your Easter baskets.


I hope the Easter bunny didn't go down there.

Theo was mad I suggested he go down there. Ha.

The under-stairs closet seems like a better hiding spot.

He was pretty excited to get a Link action figure.

Meadow got some new headphones.

Time for the egg hunt in Blake's leftover Boubville backyard.

Meadow's Easter outfit was so epic.

What a stylish kid.


This year I made some brownies with Easter candy.

Blake's house looking spiffy.

Snacks before dinner in the Lungwitz-family fashion. 

Always good to see Jasper and Blake's other friends.

IDK. Some weird easter YouTube music mixes with questionable illustrations were played in the background.

Time for dinner.

Wish we could stay but we had to drive back to Minneapolis.

Mayday in Minneapolis 2025

By
  It's Mayday, the greatest day of the year in Minneapolis. I warned Theo that it was going to be hot today but he still insisted on wearing his high wool socks.  Can you blame him. They look so cool. We biked over like we always do. So much easier these days living just across the highway from the South Side.   We left later than planned and didn't have our bikes ready so by the time we arrived there were no more spots on the curb to sit. We hung out in the shade until we heard the Battletrain coming.       It'll be here soon. Or will it? Every 30 feet this giant cardboard castle did a little show. That would explain the long hold up for the parade to start.

Work Trip to Dallas

By
Another work trip for Scott means another Chinese buffet.  I had to try the best Chinese buffet in Dallas. It just feels like something you do in Texas. I was down in Dallas for a shoot at Parker University. Yeah, I'd also never heard of it. After the shoot and the buffet, I explored the Oak Cliff section of Dallas from L.O. Daniel to the Bishop Arts District. When I go to a sunbelt town I typically look up "most walkable neighborhood" on Reddit. Almost always your best bet in these sprawling metroplexes. Yup, definitely in Texas. I wasn't hungry at this point, but next time I'm in Dallas, I've got to eat at Taqueria El Si Hay. This place just screams, "Really good tacos, here!"

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...
