Brooke Takes the Kids to WIsco/ Scott Works and Plays Back Home

Scott had to work and Cevonne was in Wisconsin. So this time I took the kids to see family solo.

Good morning Theodore!

Always sleeping in.


 When back home we have to go to Bay Beach. What was going to be just me and the kids turned into my whole family coming along.

Home? Brooke always makes fun of me for calling Milwaukee home. Ha.







This year there is a new ferris wheel. Still only .75 to ride. 


Theo loved that he could go on the rides too.

Jello.

Even by himself.

Meadow and Marina rode on the slide together like 8 times in a row.




Theo didn't like that I went on rides without him.

Meadow was too scared for the big ferris wheel but eventually gave in.


Meadow begged to go on the playground, so before leaving I said she could.


Back at home I was meeting up with my old buddies Danny and Davin.

First I had to bike across the city.





Nicollet Mall on a summer early evening is so great.


My dad had tickets to use up, one last ride with all the cousins.

Then we stopped for dinner at Zesty's.

I met up at Indeed Brewing and managed to order a beer for Davin that he liked. He's not a beer guy, but loved Indeed's Mexican Honey. I loved their new version Mexican Honey Light.

We moved over to Centro for margaritas.


This place is good.


Then I had to bike late night back through the city.

Chelsea and Dan had gone out to Mile of Music so the boys sleptover. The kids all tried to sleep in one room, but Meadow said they talked too much and came into bed with me.


My dad taught Meadow how to do archery.

Cevonne's flight was cancelled and delayed so we went over to Chelsea's to play.

Still not sure about other people holding him.





Nolan's fairy garden is looking a little Halloweenish.

Then we decided to bike to Tom's for ice cream.


I went for a bike ride every night the fam was away. I'd basically edit on my computer for 12 hours and then have fun at night.





The next morning we biked to Seth's Coffee to finally see Cevonne. While biking I heard the shutter noise. Theo was taking selfies.


He was not having it when we arrived.

They haven't seen each other in 2 years, but were old friends again. Meadow still thinks Madeline is her cousin.

They're cousins of sorts.

This place is good. I don't know why I don't go here more.

We said our quick goodbyes. Somehow I didn't get any photos of Cevonne. I swear she was there.

The kids had these sequin pillows that Meadow had to have too. We walked over to the new Dollar Store to get one.


 On our way out we met up with Amanda and her girls for lunch at Culver's.



We'll be back next summer.

Eureka! It's Thanksgiving!

For the first time in 2 years we were able to head home for Thanksgiving. I am so thankful this year that Scott isn't working retail. Especially with how ridiculously early stores are opening.  I'm thankful I'm working for myself . Luckily I had Wednesday off and Scott, well, he can have off whenever he wants. We made it out of the city with no traffic and came home in time for dinner.  I made that cake like 5 years ago in school (don't worry just the outside is real). I'm surprised my parents have still kept it even though its changing colors and covered in dust. Everytime we go to my parents house Scott always has to poke fun of my senior pictures. He's just jealous he didn't get to sit on a swing.  My mom had just gotten the upgraded version of Scott's phone. She had no idea how to use it, so Scott had to show her how. For the rest of the weekend I played the part of Geek Squad agent. Better than actually working at BBY. ...

Brooke Turns 40, We Return to the Riverside Cabin at Voyageur Canoe Outfitters

This year is my 40th birthday. We originally thought we'd go to Mackinac Island and also played with the idea of going to Montreal. With a spring break trip coming up we settled on a cabin on the Gunflint Trail. The Gunflint Trail is one of our favorite spots in Minnesota. So, why not? We'd also decided to go on another campervan/RV relocation adventure at the end of the month. So don't act like I don't treat my honey. On our drive up we stopped at Tobie's to get cinnamon bread for french toast.  Just like a few years back we stopped at Hungry Hippie Tacos in Duluth. I feel like we have to document whenever these kids get along as it's a rarity these days.  We got the frybread tacos, but the kids stuck with the corn tortilla options. We brought along our projector and stopped at Blake's house to steal his internet to download videos. Once we got to Voyageur Canoe Outfitters and unloaded our stuff, we crossed the river to explore the trails briefly. Our feet ...

A 39th Birthday Cottage Visit and Ice Skating "The Glide" in Boulder Junction

Back at the cottage for my (early) birthday weekend. Where else would I go for my birthday? I'm a simple man. Grandpa cleared a rink and a little loop for us. Theo just wanted dig in the snow. Meanwhile Meadow and I went cross country skiing on the Anvil Ski Trail. Meadow said she would only go with me if we did a trail with hills. We hiked this a few years ago and it was quite hilly.  She was an old pro on the hills while I wiped out.  We didn't make it too far as Meadow complained her boots were too tight. I made her check the fit a few weeks ago and she claimed they were fine... Was a beautiful trail in the Nicolet National Forest.
