No better place to enjoy brown butter rice crispy treats from @sweetwifebaking than at the top! #feelingminnesota #adventure #outsidewins (at Lutsen Mountains)

Success measured in smiles! Okay, it's never smiles the WHOLE time, but you already knew that! The north shore of Lake Superior is pretty awesome! #feelingminnesota #adventure #outsidewins (at Lutsen, Minnesota)

When in Rome? Who wants to turn down a free haircut! Bold move for a six-year-old, he was pretty excited about it! The only problem now is trying to wear a bicycle helmet… #whatwerewethinking #mohawk @xgames #feelingminnesota (at U.S. Bank Stadium)

Two of my faves while checking out the X games here in Minneapolis. Big city adventures can look a little bit different! #adventure #feelingminnesota (at U.S. Bank Stadium)

All I could think about was how excited I was to get home and empty my pockets. "Dad, can you hand me my gum?" No, I'm not trying to find anything in my pockets right now. We took the kids to the @xgames here in Minneapolis today but didn't bring a bag of any sort. Well, that's not completely true. I had cargo shorts on. Yes, I carried all this in my shorts. For all you wives wondering what husbands are good for...this is one thing: lots of pockets. #wearabelt #adventure #feelingminnesota (at Stillwater, Minnesota)

Garage sales are great family fun, even if you don't buy anything! #hero #ninjaturtles #feelingminnesota #outsidewins (at Stillwater, Minnesota)

As the trailer pulled away, it was both awesome and a little unnerving. I mean, this is the first time in over nine months that all of our stuff and all of our people are in the same place at the same time. It also means that we are really doing this. Exciting and sobering all at the same time! On a lighter note, I am certain that 100% of our neighbors are happy to see the trailers leave! #thatshiphassailed #adventure #justgotreal #feelingminnesota #unpackingislikechristmas (at Stillwater, Minnesota)

Midwestern welcome! #lightningbug #feelingminnesota (at Stillwater, Minnesota)
