365: Day 210- Back from the Cabin

7/29/14: We packed up and headed back to Sue & Bob's house this morning. Good thing we had the tractor to help haul all the stuff from the cabins up to the cars!


Bye bye, Little Birch! We'll see you next summer...


Stephanie and I wanted an afternoon to hang out by ourselves, so I took a quick shower once we got back and headed into town in Sue's sweet convertible to meet up with her for a day of sister fun!


We went for a walk around Lake Calhoun, and then did some shopping.



We ended the day with dinner in south Minneapolis.


Meanwhile, the kids were spoiled rotten with a fun afternoon spent swimming in a heated pool at the house of Sue & Bob's neighbor.


After baths they donned their aprons to help Grandma make egg salad.


Just another fun day in Minnesota!!

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 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.
