Sorry if you already caught these on Instagram, but I also want a record on my blog. I took some film photos too, but as usual those won't be viewable anytime soon.
R and I took a date weekend in Minneapolis: a night at The Marquette, a run along the river, cocktails at Stilheart, dinner at demi. It was great!
Downtown felt eerily quiet during the pandemic, but you know what, you can still get out there and do things if you are smart and safe about it, like Mary Tyler Moore here:
Grandma Linda watched the kids for us. They gave us some rocks they painted and we positioned them around the city. Here's where we put one of Omri's:
I know things have been a little quiet around here. I'm in the middle of a transition to a new PC and haven't had easy access to my photos or the ability to edit them for a few days. And to be honest, I haven't taken a lot of family shots lately anyway. When I'm up and running again, I hope to sort through my archives and post some outtakes. It's been a while since I've done that... and the idea of picking them out is getting more and more daunting because there are so many to choose from.
We went camping on the North Shore for two nights.
We could not have asked for more beautiful weather.
We skipped a lot of rocks.
There's the lighthouse:
This was a dangerous business, but nobody got too wet:
Stylish kid:
Back to the campsite for marshmallows... Omri prefers them "raw":
Veronica is learning the art of roasting the perfect marshmallow from her mother:
How you spend time when you are away from screens:
Cart-in campsites are the way to go for a bit of privacy. We were right on the lake too, although you can't really see it in this photo:
The next morning... here's a better view of the lake, just down from our site:
This is on a hike to a waterfall:
We spent the afternoon on the warm, smooth rocks of the beach. The water was unbearably cold. The kids did not make it all the way in. I made it up to my neck. R was the only one who put her head under... but not for long!
Omri really wanted to get out to that island:
Omri had so much fun scrambling up the rocks around our campsite:
He had a seriously good time and did not want to leave.
Veronica was less enthused about camping, although I know she had some fun, whether she will admit it or not.
It was a short but sweet trip. We took our new vehicle with a new bike rack on the back, and it seemed to work out well.
Glad to get out of the house and see some more of Minnesota!

Hello, family and friends. I started this blog to post photos and video of our little girl and little boy. If you are interested in having any of these printed, let me know and I can send you some higher resolution images. Thanks for visiting!
