Walker Sculpture Garden

On Tuesday we stopped by Penzey's Spices for a little shopping before meeting up with the rest of the fam for the afternoon. Penzey's has a great pirate-themed coloring space set up, so we were able to shop in peace! We bought chicken taco seasoning, granulated garlic, sweet Hungarian paprika, Berbere Ethiopian spice, and Muhajarah curry.


After having lunch with Stephanie at a really cool little cafe on Lyndale Ave, we with met up with Dad and Mary at the Walker Sculpture Garden.  I really wanted some pictures with the spoon and cherry!!


It was super hot and muggy but the kids had a blast exploring!


The Walker is one of those places I wish I had taken advantage of more often when I lived in Minneapolis!


It was so hot we stopped for little rests frequently.


Zoe kept busy "sweeping" with a branch and Silas "planted sticks".


There is a really cool swing sculpture that they played on for awhile. 


This was the perfect outing for our last day in MN! In the late afternoon heat we headed back out to Lake Minnetonka for one last swim, and Sue and Bob made us walleye for our last dinner.

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

Summer Nights

As we hit the end of July we are relishing the relaxed summer nights around here. Walks to the corner store after work- Kitten snoozes in the window- Playing outside after dinner- And after dinner bike rides in the park aplenty. The best part is when they ride down the "big hill" out of the woods and we make the loop home. These are the days.
