While Scott Goes to Vermont We Go on an Adventure

Every morning must start with Nintendo Switch time. 

Every morning must always start with porch breakfast. 

Theo told me he wants to start learning how to cook and bake. We started our first lesson with making scrambled eggs. 

Also Theo decided earlier this week he wanted his haircut. He was sick of his hair blowing in his eyes and touching his neck. He also mentioned that a couple kids at school asked if he was a boy or girl. 

Today was library day. Theo always complains about going but then loves playing with all the toys. 


We've officially reached the age of finding books in the Teen section. 

We picked up some food for lunch and had a picnic at Nearstrand State Park. The wasps wouldn't leave us alone until we put away anything sweet. 

First, play in the leaves. 



Next, climb trees. 


Then, play on the nature playground. 

Now we can see the waterfall. I had been wanting to take the kids here all summer. Wish I had when there was more rain and the waterfall would have existed. 

Not as much fun as Gooseberry Falls. 



Then we did the hiking club trail. We only needed a couple more miles to earn our 50 mile badge


Meadow carried this branch most of the way. 

Nice job, kiddos. We earned our 25 mile badge in 2021. 

I told the kids if they were good hikers we could get ice cream.


Back at home I worked on knitting a knitted vest for Meadow. 

Theo worked on his sewing and Meadow worked on her rug hook.

We have been loving the Little House on the Prairie series lately.

Theo added his name to his project. 
 
Meadow has also been obsessed with making bracelets.

Not quite Vermont but we still had fun.

Work Trip: Brooke Didn't Want to go to Fairmont, Minnesota and We go to the Science Museum

It seems like Brooke was always ready to tag along for my hotel shoot work trips. Apparently Fairmont wasn't on her list of place she'd be willing to tag along to. There wasn't much around the area that I really wanted to do. After work I wasn't super hungry, so I went and got a beer at Fairmont Brewing Company . It's pretty rad that there's a microbrewery in almost every decently sized city these days. I walked by this unnamed food truck after a brewski. Also nice that there's decent Mexican food in every nook and cranny in these here United States. Incredible that conservatives some how think this is a bad thing. Since I've been going on photo walks at all of my out of state shoots, might as well keep that up in Martin County. This dive bar beckoned me, "You want another beer, Scott!" Incredible that a county of just under 20,000 people once built a county courthouse this grand. It looked the dive bar I'd walked past was closed, but when...

A Schools Out for Summer Bike Ride

Summer was finally here and we've all got bikes once again! When the kids want crepes, you gotta make them. Theo even helped me this time. Guess we could have used a bigger table out here.  We needed to scout a spot for Meadow's birthday party. We thought today we'd take a family bike ride on Minnehaha Parkway. Meadow got a new helmet over Memorial Weekend which really completed her new bike set up. She's so cute.  We stopped at Lyndale Farmstead Bike shop to fix the grips on Theo's bike.  Good as new. Always love Minneapolis in the spring. This spot seemed like a good one.  Theo wanted a portrait too. There was rain coming so we stopped to wait it out under the Nicollet Avenue bridge. We also saw a few people canoeing and kayaking on the creek.  These guys had the same idea as us.
