Another June means another visit to Detroit Lakes while I work at nearby New York Mills' Lund Factory. We arrived late, but that didn't stop us from taking a walk down Lake Drive.  Because of the teacher strike back in March, Meadow is actually still in school. We pulled her out for a few days so we could come along too.    I had to wake up early the next morning for my shoot back in New York Mills. We stayed at the same cute motel we stayed in last year. While Scott worked, the kids and I walked to downtown. Last year Scott took the kids downtown while I worked. I hadn't been there yet.  After going last year, the kids wanted to go back to the Toy Finder store. It's a store full of discontinued toys. I was excited to find an old Battleship game. I hate the new ones that make noise. I had been looking for the same style I had growing up.  I also got a travel Guess Who. Meadow chose a small Brewers hat with baseball cards and Theo picked out an oil truck.   ...

With Meadow fighting sleep lately I've been getting bored with being in the house all day. Scott had a big job recently and had been working a lot on that. It was time for us to go on a much needed vacation. We decided to go camping since Meadow seems to calm down when we take her outside. Of course we had to make a few stops to feed her on the way.
