Riding the Bus to MIA for Family Fun

Finally the family days at the MIA are back in person.

We decided to take the bus since it's a single seat ride all the way there. Give or take a couple of blocks.

Pose in front of the museum.

Thanks, for obliging.

Meadow wore another pair of her new earrings today.

The kids wanted to see the gift shop first.

Why do museums always have the best toys?

The first activity was mask making. Meadow was so happy to be creating.

In her zone.

Looking good Theo.

They had some Heart of the Beast Theatre masks on disply.

Looking mysterious, little dudes.

The next activity was making clay creations.

Theo and I made a couple bowls and Link.

Meadow and I made a kitty and a Master Sword.

There was also a kids scavenger hunt. Theo was bored with this idea and was a little antsy.

It's pretty great seeing folks enjoying the city like pre-pandemic times.

Meadow turned in her scavenger hunt for a postcard of artwork and a squishee.

Back at home, Theo's always trying to get cozy in our bed.

I did more test baking. This family is loving it.

Don't think I'll be losing anymore weight this fall and winter.

Boundary Waters Yurt Camping

Early in the week I found out that we had a chance to stay at a yurt in the Boundary Waters . Hipcamp's an awesome new site that helps you find pretty much any campsite. Since we didn't have any plans and we could stay in Duluth halfway we took the bait. We didn't need our tent or camp pads, so we packed a little different than normal.

Stillwater Waterfall and MN River Valley Hiking

Scott had to take some sunset photos in Stillwater. A fall color aerial 360. I hadn't been there in awhile so we tagged along. We left as soon as Meadow was done for school and headed for the St Croix Boom Site. I had heard there was a hidden waterfall and wanted to check it out. There's not a specific trail to it. From what I read you go down the stairs and take a left following the river. I think it's an old state trail that isn't maintained and has way too much graffiti.

The Cape Cod of the Midwest

We talked Brittany into joining us for a road trip to Door County, WI. Scott had never been there before ( or so I believe) . Considering how short of a drive it is I'm surprised my family didn't go that often, either.
