MN Trip - The Projects

This trip saw a number of different little projects to tackle including understanding this cool little remote.....

....some spring burning.....

.....painting the siding where the door was removed.....

.....that solenoid on the John Deere had seen a lot of years of work.....

....and this guy which has seen even more years of service saw new life!

MN Trip - Emmaville

We took a nice drive while on vacation and thought we'd stop for lunch in Emmaville.  We think that Jacob had other plans though on this day.  

We got our seats and after Lori stepped away to the restroom, our nice waitress came to ask us what we would like to drink.  Noah was first up to order and after he quickly glanced at his Mom's empty seat he said, "I'll have a Pepsi".  Jacob was still in a funk so he got milk and the waitress also pointed to the sign below and hung the threat of washing dishes, wrapping up silverware, etc, over Jacob's head if he didn't cheer up.

Jacob....you were one tough customer that day but, when it was all said and done, you didn't have to wash dishes!

Happy Birthday Jacob!

Happy Birthday!  It's the big number 7 for you today.  Until real camp starts in the next week, it will be a day of Camp Daddy which means an afternoon at the pool, your choice where to eat tonight, presents, cake, etc!

When we got to Minneapolis we decided to take in the Twins game vs the Chicago White Sox at Target Field and could not have had better weather.....

....Of course we ate hot dogs.......

....and had great seats to see the Twins come away with another win.

Jacob the Nomad

Jacob has been a trooper the last month or so as the new floors went down.  He's slept in three or four different rooms while the upstairs gets some needed attention.  We are down to final room and Jacob can't wait to get back into his own room.
