The Beginnings of Summer

Love my porch breakfasts.

One of our neighbors had put out a notice that they'd be cleaning up the boulevard in the morning and anyone could join. I was delighted to see so many neighbors come out to help. Even met some new people after 4 years of living here.

Theo was awake after I got home. He changed his mind on wanting us to sell the Magic Tracks and he's been proving that he did actually still like it.

Then we headed out to run errands and do a library run.

Theo convinced me to get him a new frisbee.

Meadow found a new poster at Five Below.

I then promised the kids ice cream if they went on a bike ride with me.

It seemed like the entire southwest of Minneapolis was at Lake Harriet tonight. I'd never seen it so busy.

All three windows were open at Bread and Pickle with long lines.

We passed by a huge pile of free stuff and Theo found a kids science lab kit.

Theo was so excited to use it when he got home.

The next morning, even the farmers market was packed.

Of course I couldn't say no when Theo spotted this pretty little Bundt cake.

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...

Work Trip: Muncie, Appalachian Kentucky, Cincinnati and Chicago

I'm back to being on the road again for 360 shoots. This time I got to shoot Ball State in Muncie, Indiana. That was just the start since I had three shoots lined up in Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois over five days. After my first day of shooting I got dinner at Twin Archer Brew Pub and got a Philly Cheesesteak of course. I eat way too many cheesesteaks. And then I explored Downtown Muncie and thereabouts.

A Solo Visit to Fergus Falls' Dairlyand and Back Home with the Fam

I had to travel to St. Croix Falls over in Wisconsin and then all the way across Minnesota in Fergus Falls to shoot a couple of hotels. After my second hotel shoot I stopped by Dairyland before heading home. This was the correct choice. I even got a little tour of the place from the owner. Pretty cool to see the old radio switch board from when they were a proper drive-in.
