Lily has been really excited to go to the fair this year and tonight was the night. She loved the cows, horses and all the people. Most of all, she loved the carousel. It was mom’s idea to go for a ride and it was a fantastic idea. From the moment the horse started to move, […]

Lightning Show 7/30/11
Last night we had quite a nice lightning show. With such a big show, I thought for sure we’d get big storms, but it turns out that we didn’t get much of anything. I did get a nice video and some nice pictures.
How to get free passes to the MN Zoo and other great places.
Did you know that some Minnesota libraries have free passes to all sorts of MN destinations? We were lucky enough to get our hands on a MN Zoo pass last week and the whole family got into to the zoo for free! We got to feed the baby goats, see the fish, lions and all […]
Waconia has a pretty nice beach.
We’ve only been to the beach one other time since we’ve lived in Waconia and that was for picnic. But today we decided to check it out and go for a swim. The setup is very nice, there is play equipment and picnic tables on the grass and there is plenty of beach for everyone. […]
Storm clouds from last night.
The storms last night were quite interesting. We lost power with the first few wind gusts and didn’t get it back for 6 hours or so. The good news is the worst of the storms didn’t hit us but the sky painted a pretty cool picture.

We’ve been watching America’s got talent and some acts are not very good. Others the judges think are good, but their just not Vegas quality.

We now have a water garden.
Thanks to all the rain, we now have a water garden. However Lily doesn’t seem to mind.
Lily loves the water this year.
Last year Lily wanted little to do with the water when we were at the beach in San Diego. Over the weekend we visited Lake Ann Park in Chanhassen and this time she had no issues when it came to water. At first we thought she’d freak out because her socks go wet, but it didn’t […]
Minneapolis Morning
We headed down to the farmers market at the Guthrie this morning and then took a stroll across the stone arch bridge. We even stopped by the Minneapolis Public Library which is the first time I’ve been there since they re-did it. Turns out it has a really nice kids area and a kids bathroom that […]
Twin Cities Twitter weather alerts are working again.
Good news for all the people following one of the Twin Cities Twitter weather alerts accounts as they are once again working. They worked great over the winter, then suddenly stopped this spring. Turns out weather.gov updated the RSS feeds. In doing so, they dropped the old ones without telling us. Unfortunately the weekend gave us […]
