ice palace maze
This was a first for us. An ice maze made of almost 3,000 blocks of ice. The girls had fun doing the maze over and over, but I think their favorite might have been the huge ice slide (and the hot chocolate).

FINALLY! Olivia was so bummed she had to miss the first one, so she has really been looking forward to tonight.

happy new year!
We rang in 2022 by having some friends over, eating an amazing food spread, dressing up just for fun and staying up until 2 AM (yes, even the girls)!

duluth in winter
We've never been to Duluth in the winter. Every November/December they have a huge Christmas light display that everyone always talks about. We had planned to go over Olivia's birthday weekend, but couldn't find any rooms. We ended up finding one for a

happy halloween
The girls both had very specific requests for their costumes this year. Just my luck both costumes were sold out on Amazon. I did a bunch of searching and was lucky enough to find both of them somewhere else. I waited until the very last minute to get pumpkins, so

what a week
I don't think I've ever posted about it... but last year we bought a small business selling RV parts. The company was started 40ish years ago by a guy who owned a Blue Bird (like ours), so it has always had very loyal Blue Bird owner

jack-o-lantern spectacular
Our zoo has a jack-o-lantern spectacular every year (except last year of course). This year we donated some money to the zoo and we got to go for free before it opened to the public. It is pretty incredible what people can carve into pumpkins.
