Duluth Easter 2025

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.

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....

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

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...

Grandparents Visit While Scott Travels

  While Scott was on yet another work trip, the kids and I took advantage of the last days of Bread and Pickle being open.  Biking with Theo can sometimes be very frustrating. He likes to yell and give up easily. Pecan has recently discovered that we store her food in the back staircase. When we're not looking she sneaks out when you open the door and gets into her food. The rare times Meadow and Theo play together.
