In the last 2 weeks, we’ve had a lot of adventures (#daddydaycare in effect for a number of days, but not all of them). 1) Spent some time relaxing at the falls, almost like being on the beach in Waikiki 😐 2) Minneapolis winters are a lot like winters in Phoenix, but w/ less sunny days, & heat, & drizzle, & people wearing 5 layers of clothing 😐 3) Al’s Breakfast is everything I imagined it to be - shotgun shack style, lots of stuff to look at, terrific food & service, & good coffee 🤗 4) Apples for dessert b/c nobody told them about the peppermint ice cream & chocolate brownies 😏 (they got that dessert as well) 5) Next year’s most popular Christmas Card, only available by ordering from the Hallmark Christmas Movie studio, will have this image on the cover. Inside, the greeting will read “The time is now, the place is here And the whole wide world is filled with cheer... So open your eyes, lend us an ear We want to say merry christmas and happy new year!” #rundmc This will certainly inspire curiosity & wonder in all the folks who receive it, & that’s what XMas is really about🎄 🎶 6) Grampa was explaining the right way & wrong way to roll round bales (pictured in background),as they were about to commit a heist 😬😳 the Girls are fast learners, took less than 5 minutes to get 3 bales 😂 7) We grew tired of driving the Girls to daycare everyday - so now Bella pulls Shay to her school (it’s only 5 miles) & then makes the trek to her school (another 10-11 miles at most, so not horrible). Since we started this routine, they’ve both been sleeping better at night 🤔 8) Back at the docks, looking for the water, never found it 😶 9) Play-Doh never gets old & the floors never get clean 😭#imthehelp 10) A visit to Mille Lacs to show them where people go to drink beer, er, fish in the summer, & winter, & fall, & spring 😐#pickaseason #mywinterbreak #diamondlkphotography #diamondlkgirls #minnehahafalls #diamondlkstudio @alsbreakfast #mpls #sota #northbynorth #mnlife #northmore #farms #yolkporn #xmascard #trainingforMilanCortinadAmpezzo #millelacs #landof10000pluslakes #cityofflourandsawdust #xmaswine #monastrell #happynewyear #grandpa #mplsfoodie (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B664rYEnvdU/?igshid=n729aubdr06v
