Chilly Camping!

This past weekend we went camping in MN's North Shore, at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park! One of Kai's 2 favorite books of all time is The Little Red Lighthouse, so he LOVED it!!

Our campsite's lovely location

Kai's FAVORITE part of camping: roasting marshmallows!!!

We did some Geocaching too...Kai found the "treasure!"

Randomness from our week

Here are some random snippets from our week. The first batch: the playground on campus!

Last weekend we went to part of the annual "Prairie Home Companion Street Dance," where Mike got to go on stage with Garrison Keillor! This is him signing some autographs in the background (about 2 minutes after he patted Micaiah's very wet bottom and didn't say a thing!!! Also interesting - he knows Potsdam, NY, even that they had a pretty ice storm about 10 years ago!).

Today we went to Silverwood Park for their Family Fireside First Friday event (this one Harvest Moon related since it's in 2 days). After Mike led about 60 people in some (silly but fun) moon-related sing-a-long songs, they had a scientific "lesson" if you will about the harvest moon, read a few stories, and had a shadow puppet show! Afterwards, the kids got to make their own shadow puppets and try them out on the backlit "stage." Kai LOVED it!! He (with Amanda's help of course) made a bird and a tractor!

Earlier today Kai napped at the table for about 45 minutes, woke up, and finished eating as if he hadn't fallen asleep!! He then asked for a hug, and as I picked him up, he fell back to sleep! What a sleepy boy! :)
