I love Minnesota, but the mosquitoes are no fun. Nearly every day my wife, baby girl and I go for a walk. And nearly every day, we get bit by mosquitoes.

I joke that Lily has mosquitopox. The red bumps make me think of chickenpox, but lucky for us, they’re not.

We’ve tried getting a clip-on Off proctor but that didn’t do much good. Now we are trying kids mosquito spray and seeing if that helps. We put it on the stroller and on Lily in hopes of keeping those darn mosquitoes away.

It’ll be nice come fall when the mosquitoes die off, but for now, the battle is on and I’m determined to win.
