It’s always a good time when we go to the Minnesota State Fair.

WordCamp Minneapolis at Night – Wallpaper
I was playing around with the Minneapolis WordCamp 2014 artwork and came up with what I feel is a starry Minnesota night. Full Size Download – 3264 x 2448 – 628k Granted, this version isn’t as crisp as it could be since it originated from a photo I took of my shirt, but I like it. I […]
Minnesota River in Chaska Flooding Pictures
We took a drive down to Chaska today to look at the Minnesota river. The main road, 41, is now closed and for good reason. They have a TON of water and it’s on the rise. Luckily for Chaska, their levee protects downtown and it’s doing a great job. However, the water continues to rise.
Driving Equipment, Slack Roping, and Flying Kites
Over the weekend we did a lot of fun activities around town. First up was Touch a Truck day at the City of Waconia. Here Lily got to climb into all sorts of city equipment and learn about how the city works. After that we went to a parks event where Lily got to try […]
Money. Money. Money.
Money everywhere at Cuzzy’s in Minneapolis. I’m not sure what the deal is with the dollars all over everything, but it’s pretty cool. They all have artwork on them too so it’s not like you can just take a few and spend them. I do wonder how much money is on the walls.
Heart In The Snow
Good morning driveway. What a nice blanket of snow you have.
Woke up to 10″ of snow on my driveway. Plus it’s still snowing and seems kind of windy. I think this is a good job for the snowblower. Only a couple more inches and well get a foot! Plus, in a few days, it’ll be all melted.
Valleyfair Construction 1974
Back in 1974 there wasn’t much to Valleyfair. In fact, two local businessmen were just starting to build it. When Valleyfair opened in 1976, it had 20 attractions that included the Antique Cars, Bumper Cars, Ferris Wheel, High Roller roller coaster, Scrambler, SuperCat, and Wheel of Fortune. Amazingly enough, most of those are still there today!
Waiting On Spring
Took a walk around town and it’s nothing but snow. As much as I like the snow, I’m ready to be done. Ready to get back out there and enjoy all the things that are under the snow.
Our Day at Nickelodeon Universe.
Today I took the day off and Christi and I took Lily to Nickelodeon Universe in the Mall of America to have some fun. We had unlimited ride wristbands and we were taking advantage of the day. Lily loved the rides. We went on quite a few junior rides as she is only 4, but […]
