A walk around campus
View from the dining room window/coming down the outside entrance stairs going to the Ad building.
View from the kitchen window and straight off the end of the dorm looking toward the girls dorm and music/cafe building
Had to peek in a door but this is the science lab (for Randy)
The adjacent science classroom
Computer lab (for you MJ) - this room had window air conditioning running!
Mr. Swanson, or Swanee as he is known, has taught history at Maplewood for 47 years. Some kids painted his room for him. He has had a husky his whole time at Maplewood and at some point they made the school mascot a husky because of it.
Teacher's office/student worker workroom set up off of the classroom
Do you see what I see? Sometimes the Husky gets to come to class.
Downstairs hallway
Ryan's Bible classroom
Main office - just like MPA when you come in
Principal's office
Ad building lobby with office to the left then classrooms, chapel on the right
Fountain and pond area next to the Ad building
Music building on the left - home ec on the right - cafe downstairs. This is the oldest building on campus and it sits in front of the girls dorm.
We guessed band room
We guessed choir room
If you missed the other views of Maplewood from the previous blog:
Mom and Dad to the Rescue
Mom and Dad came to help us get settled in and were a big help!
In between struggling to put nails/screws in walls and make things fit we took some time off to play with the Wii, see the town of Hutchinson, and enjoy Minneapolis.
Learning to do archery
Can you tell who these people are?
Toby loves taking naps with people
Downtown Minneapolis
Target Field
Our seats were quite sunny & hot
Toby's Boys Dorm Tour
This is the boys dorm lobby. Mom and Dad say it sure looks a lot more like home with lots of pictures on the walls and the lamps they bought. I did a lot supervising while Mom, Dad, and the grandparents moved stuff around in here. I kept wanting to just sleep on the couches but they moved them out from under me!
Some Old English made these end tables look a lot better!
I like looking out the big windows on the front of the dorm for squirrels!
Everybody is raving about how neat those paintings are with the verse shown behind me in this picture. I think squirrels are way more interesting. (Mom says I should point out to Mary Jane that this is your old bookcase from Kingway - its making the academy rounds!)
Mom says this is the RA's room for 1st floor - she says I will be his friend - whoever an RA is...
Very nice mattress...
Funny smells in these things called closets...
That's all! Dad says his office is not ready to show yet so that will have to come later. There is a really comfy couch in there!

Moving to Maplewood
Loading the main truck in the front yard
Loading up truck #2 in the back to ~10 ft in so we could load in the Suzuki
The fearless driver!
We stopped at Highland the first night. Claire is telling Ryan what she thinks of us moving to Minnesota.
Love this little girl!
What a great little traveler!
Northern Illinois
Spent night #2 at Arrowhead Lodge, Best Western, Black River Falls, WI
Coming into Minnesota in the midst of storms
New carpet, flooring and paint.
Our life in 2 Penskes minus one car and one small dog
Stephanie and I were very proud of our mirror/picture box concoction
