One of Us Paints Another Runs on Fall Errands

Yoga before breakfast. 

These kids and standing on tables and counters...

Brooke and Meadow were out and about, so I sent over a picture of our stair railings. We need to add a couple to our 3rd floor. I spent the rest of the day painting the back of the house.

Meanwhile, Meadow and I had a bunch of errands to run. First, the library. 


I'm making our Halloween costumes this year based on a pattern that my mom never used in the 90's. 

We stopped at our favorite fabric store: S.R. Harris

We stumbled across this fabric. Should have made a pillow with it. 

Meadow just loves this place and looking at all the fabrics. 

The rest of the things I needed was at Joann's Fabrics. We also need some frames for a few posters that we want to hang up. 

Prints. Much fancier than posters.

Then Scott asked me to pick up some things from Menards. 

Our yard is going to be so beautiful in the spring. 

One of these years we need to buy some of these monstrosities.

Theo actually played in the backyard.

Lately he likes looking over the fence into the neighbors yard. 

Progress. Finally.

Theo made up a ball game that him and I played during the week. It was time for Meadow to try. 


Busy days often means picking up taco fixings from La Casa Market. You can order burritos and tacos like at a taqueria, but we go with the hot deli meats, tortillas already warmed in a cooler and everything else we need. It's awesome.

New Ulm, August Schell's and Waseca County Free Fair Weekend

  It's fair season which means a new to us county fair.  I was driving back via the scenic route from Albert Lea earlier in the week when I saw that Waseca County was throwing their "Free Fair" this weekend. Since we were already going to nearby New Ulm, why not make a day of it? You know our first food stop is the lemonade stand, especially on this really hot day. The tanker size was a must.  We now are collecting these giant lemonade contraptions, I guess. It was hot and humid. The lemonade wouldn't last too long. Then it was lunch time.  Of course Meadow just picked sweets.

Star Island Canoe Camping on Minnesota's Cass Lake

Scott had a job in Moorhead. You know what that means, road trip!  I had to get a photo of Theo being sweet holding his Baby.  We stayed the night at a Best Western. I've been photographing a lot of these and they're all pretty dang nice. We spent the night swimming in their small waterpark.  I looked up the best playground in Fargo and found Maplewood Park.  Meanwhile I shot the Minnesota State - Moorhead campus. What was even better was that it had a ninja warrior course too. Mexico City has adult "playgrounds" next to all the kids playgrounds and I wish we had more of that here.  We had small ones all along the Oak Leaf Trail in Milwaukee County. Not sure what Minneapolis' deal is. This was harder to do than it looked. The kids were much better at it than me. I've really gotten out of shape over the years.  She says this, but she still looks great.

Brooke's Brithday Cabin Weekend: Soudan Undergournd-Lake Vermillion State Park Edition

It was Brooke's birthday cabin weekend. We were going to the brand new camper cabins at Soudan Mine-Lake Vermillion State Park, but decided to break up our drive in Duluth. Remnants of Boubville still stand in Blake's backyard. Scott and I wanted to get breakfast at Duluth Grill but the kids won with their request for Superior Waffles . The place is pretty good to be honest. Blake has made progress since we were here last. He said he was trying to get it all done before Easter and was then disappointed to learn we wouldn't be coming for Easter this year. Sorry Blake and Daniel. If we had more room in our Roadsufer campervan rental , we'd bring you along next month. This years birthday cabin brought us to Lake Vermilion State Park . My original plan was to go to Winnipeg, but knowing this mild winter, we didn't think that would work. We even talked about going to Arkansas. With a spring break trip coming up we decided to stay close by. The Minnesota State Park camp
