Maarit (aka Maarti) Mattson is back in Northern Minnesota with her lovely parents and little brother Gustaf. Lucky for us, we've had a few adventures with these cool kids this summer. The Aquarium is a favorite stop for everyone, although I sometimes pass on this part of the playing. There is only so much a person can hang out at work, no matter how cool their place of employment is. </div>

Our little fashionista cooking and coloring (a girl's gotta have hobbies) while sporting an outfit from Uncle Neal and Aunt Kelly. It is paired with my pearls from when I was a kid. I know, I know, how very New England hoity toity - I had pearls as a child. And yes I do still own some. The ones I wear now though are my nana's so that must count for something. </div>

Oh the West Coast. How very lovely you are. And your people. We heart them too. Another OMSI friend wedding brought us to the greater Seattle area for a long weekend. After picking Erica Henry up at the Seattle airport (hurrah for seeing far away friends 2 times in one month!) we headed to Olympia to the Henry Palace by the sea (well the sound...well actually an inlet off of Puget Sound). It's salt water for sure though and comes complete with seals, jellyfish and fresh oysters. </div>

After a nap, we did some dock exploration. There are SO many things living there! I really miss this living next to Lake Superior. I keep expecting there to be little barnacle feet waving at me even after all of these years. So that was fun, to see the barnacle feet all up in the air/water like they just don't care - or are feeding. You know, whatever. </div>

At the Seattle Center and the Science museum's butterfly garden. Lucy's big take away from this was that butterflies like fruit, they will not land on your finger although you REALLY want them to, and there were some guys fixing something by the door with a lift. That last one has been brought up several times recently because our neighbors are fixing something with a lift in their yard. It brings the whole thing back for her. </div>

Our flight on Tuesday wasn't until later in the afternoon. We stopped by the waterfront, the Aquarium and Pike's Place market. We also went to a little garden near the airport to try and squeeze every last drop out of Lucy's nap. She really did a great job traveling. She did keep asking though where we were going to sleep next. </div>

We recently got a spontaneous invite to join Adriane, Steven and Zoella at a cabin on a lake in Ely. Spontaneous is usually the easiest way for us to roll. So we said, YES! I zoomed home after telling about 200 people, that I was indeed holding a live snake at the local Thomas the Tank Engine event and we hit the road. Side note: all of the melting down overwhelmed small children wearing train shirts confirmed that we made the right decision NOT to attend this event with Lu. Maybe next year. </div>

A walk and some beach time in the morning. Then right before we left it seemed like a shame NOT to go for a little paddle. The water was like glass. There is something so very wonderful about being in a canoe. Lucy paddled too with her wooden spoon paddle. We also looked a wide variety of bugs that had landed in the boat, passing them back and forth on the edge of our paddles/spoons. After a quick trip into Ely to see Adriane's children's garden and have lunch we headed back to Duluth to see Grandma Pam. </div>

End note: We found a little pool in a garden in Ely that had fish in it. Lucy's statement to me was: "Mama, I can't see their faces." It was hilarious to see that she's so used to seeing fish in an aquarium setting where you can indeed "see their faces". </div>

Erica Henry came to visit. She is a friend from our time out west. It was so wonderful to have her here. She lives in the Keys so we thought she'd be right at home on the beach. We took her to two. Rocky beach (Brighton) and sandy beach (Park Point). And we ate amazing food. And went for long walks. And played games. And lounged in the sun. It was wonderful. </div>

This is the carving of our whole chicken that we roasted on the grill. (The photos of how pretty it looked are on Ryan's phone). We did the beer can chicken thing. Turns out our neighbor even had the official grill pan to make the bird stand up straight while it roasted. It was delicious. Totally recommend it. SUPER easy. And no, we didn't use a dark beer. We poured some Summer Shandy into that can. </div>

She's wearing my watch and kept asking us "Do you know what time it is?" Her response was frequently "36 o'clock". Lucy's clock apparently has more than 24 hours. That explains why bedtime is such a struggle. She thinks she's got 12 more hours of fun ahead of her. Oh, honey. If only those hours existed, I know a few people that could make use of them. For work. For play. For cleaning our house. For sleeping. For updating our blog. </div>

Although when they turned up the volume she spent the rest of the parade like this and in my lap. Parades are not her favorite thing ever. Let me rephrase, loud things are not her favorite thing ever. Is it the tubes in her ears? She can certainly get quite loud herself...anyway parades are out for a while but visits with cool fun friends are definitely in.</div>

Erin and Frank came for dinner and Lucy invited Frank into the "pool" for a swim. "Whew, what a core workout', reported Frank. It was for the rest of us as well because we were laughing so hard. Good times. It has been wonderful to have moments like this this summer. It counters the total absolute crazy-pants everything else that is going on.</div>

What has happened since February? Well, winter went away...by the beginning of July. And we moved to a new house (pictures of that forthcoming in a later post since we haven't taken any yet). And have traveled a bunch for weddings, family visits, and to see the sights. Lucy turned 3. She attended her first "school friend" birthday party. Big stuff.<br />
<br />
I promised some folks some pictures. So here we go.<br />

Boulder Tree Cut was a little squishier than in years past but a great adventure nonetheless. I think the tree selection team is getting better at eyeing up the tops of the trees from afar. We emerged from the woods with three trees, a bunch of greens, 6 adults, 2 toddlers and a dog. Success! We also ran into other fine folks we know, had a snack and then rocked on into nap time.</div>

This evening we put the ornaments on after a pretty crazy day. Pink eye has hit our house and Lu is kind of a ball of goo. We spent 3 hours at urgent care through what should have been nap time. Well if that isn't the recipe for an awesome afternoon, I don't know what is. Lucy was a rock star though, let the nurses/doctors do their thing and even took a nap when we got home. </div>

To start off the vacation-a-thon we headed South through Wisconsin and to Chicago. After living in Minnesota for 8 years now, I'm finally getting the geography of our neighboring states down. They are big but still a bit unfamiliar, as in I've never been to Iowa. It's still hard to believe that you can drive for so many hours and still be in the same state. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our first stop was in Baraboo, Wisconsin at the Wiggy-Krohm estate. We made it the 5 hours to their house in part by telling Lucy that we were going to see Virginia and her chickens. As soon as we got out of the car, she asked about her feathered friends. She was impressed although they did seem to keep running away from her. Go figure. It was such beautiful country and Tony and Virginia were wonderful hosts. Fresh pizza on the deck! </div>

We try to do our driving during Lucy's nap time. So we went into Madison for the morning and visited the Children's Museum. Whoa. Amazing. Definitely worth the visit whether or not you have children with you. You should also stop at the crepe shop across the street. Oh my delicious.</div>

We went for a paddle at Hartley Nature Center. Thanks to Ryan for portaging our canoe without portage pads. Oops. Next time we'll bring everything. (right.) Lucy still talks about this. She paddled with a spoon and now says "row row" everytime she sees a spoon or her lifejacket. We're gotten her hooked! Awesome. I can't wait to do more on the water with her. </div>

After the flooding - the Lake Superior Zoo's otters came to live at the Aquarium for a while. This is particularly fun because their holding space is a few steps from our offices in the basement. And they are very playful. What a nice treat to walk in and watch them frolic between emails. Here is the male, Otto, taking a sniff of Tara (our otter keeper). </div>
