I’m a big fan of Valleyfair, but not a big fan of going when it’s haunted. In the past, I never even thought about going to ValleyScare at night when all the ghosts and ghouls were out, but this year, we did it! Turns out, ValleyScare is a lot of fun. The biggest thing to […]

Valleyfair Flooding – June 28th 2024
We visited Valleyfair on June 28th and were amazed by the flooding. The Minnesota River has completely submerged the parking lot, forcing visitors to park off-site and take shuttle buses to the park. Valleyfair has also set up a temporary gravel entrance next to Delirious, as the main entrance is currently inaccessible. Once in the […]
Can Can Wonderland – Arcade & Mini Golf
Last weekend, we had a great time at Can Can Wonderland! Can Can Wonderland is a arcade packed with a wide array of pinball machines and classic arcade games. From iconic titles like PacMan and Rampage to skee-ball and Dance Dance Revolution. Some games are ones you know and love, others are unknown and unique, […]
Went to the mall to feed a Capybara.
This past weekend, we meet some wild animals at Sustainable Safari in Maplewood Mall. Lily had the opportunity to interact with her latest animal obsession, the Capybara. Capybaras are pretty cute when they’re small, and kinda cute, in a weird way, when they grow up, too. Sustainable Safari had all sorts of animals including goats, […]
Into the Unknown – Wolf Ridge Winter Camping
This week Lily and I are headed to Wolf Ridge with her class to take in nature. We’ll be spending most of our day outdoors doing winter things. Nothing like spending all day outdoors in Northern MN in the middle of January. I’ve talked to a few people who have gone in past years and, […]
Built an owl box. – Now waiting for an owl.
Today I finished building an owl box and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I followed instructions from Four Oaks Crafts and they were pretty good. I’m not the most skilled when it comes to building things, so I’m excited it turned out. Why did I create an owl box? Well, I hear […]
Just a wee bit of snow.
With a gap in the blizzard I tried to dig out the driveway. I did it but it’s not the best job. More snow is on the way too!
It’s a blizzard!
Lily and I went outside to enjoy the blizzard today. Lots of snow and lots of wind. It was fun for a little while but that wind & snow eventually hurts your face. Don’t let this picture trick you though, it’s much worse out there than it looks like.
Easter Egg Hunt in MN
All this snow makes it easy to find Easter eggs. White ones would be so much more fun!
Great day at the Mill City Museum.
I went with my daughter’s 3rd-grade class to the Mill City Museum today and it was great. This was my first time visiting and I was amazed at how much there was to do and how much there was to learn. I know it was a field trip for the kids, but I enjoyed it very […]
