By the shores of Lake Superior

We stayed in the left side of this duplex

 Love all the birch trees!

The Duluth harbor lighthouse

Meesha

Toby's best Maplewood friend is Meesha, the history teacher's husky.

Can't wait to see him in the snow!

Toby prepares for winter

Toby modeling his new sweater for you while Dad entices him with a treat. He actually seems to like this sweater and almost willingly puts it on. I think that's a sign that he's cold.

He's also been spending more time in his bed than laying on the floor - another sign the weather is changing. Muttley is still his favorite toy.

From inside a silo

For some reason I really like this picture I took from inside a silo at the farm we visited. I like the patterns you can see. The light and shadow and the quietness made it a neat place to just stand and look up.

Minnehaha Falls

Minnehaha Park is right in downtown Minneapolis. Hollie and I did a bit of exploring there and I can't wait to go back again! There are lots of great trails to walk on and bike, a dog park, beautiful falls, and views of the Mississippi River.

Ryan coerced Hollie into making him cinnamon rolls on the premise that he wanted to learn how to make them...
