  • Wind Cave National Park: Scenic Cave Tour

    Peyton discovered cave tours last year when I took her on one in southern Minnesota. From that moment on, she has been begging to go on more cave tours.

    Recently, Peyton and I attended a conference in Sandusky, Ohio. While we were there I decided to make some time to take her to Cedar Point Amusement Park.

  • Custer County Candy Company

    On our trip through South Dakota, we stumbled across an adorable old fashioned candy store. The Custer County Candy Company is located in Custer just a 15 minuted drive from Wind Cave National Park. It’s right off the main drag, tucked back just a little ways off the street. If you see a huge metal… [Continue Reading]

  • A Day of Play with Great Wolf Lodge Minnesota

    When I first heard Great Wolf Lodge was coming to Minnesota I’ll admit, I was super excited! Great Wolf Lodge is known to have some of the best family fun activities. Did you see I mentioned activities? As in plural. Great Wolf Lodge is much much more than a water park. They have something for… [Continue Reading]

  • Crazy Horse

    South Dakota is steeped in history, it’s one of the main reasons I chose to take the kids here for MEA break. After visiting Mount Rushmore  we headed over to Crazy Horse. It’s only about a 15-20 minute drive. Crazy Horse is a privately funded memorial surviving on donations from the public. It’s a shame there is… [Continue Reading]

  • Mammoth Site

    Peyton has a fascination with dinosaurs. There was one point when she would only watch The Land Before Time and Ice Age movies.

  • Escape to the Windy City for the Weekend

    The Chicago area is one of our favorite destinations. It’s only 5 hours from home and full of museums, zoos, attractions and more. It’s the perfect change of scenery for the weekend. On our most recent trip, we stayed in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. It’s just a short drive outside of Chicago, however, it’s centrally… [Continue Reading]

Blended Butter Pecan Sundae Coffee

I like to enjoy coffee year-round but sometimes in the summer, I don't want to start the day with a hot cup of coffee. It's already hot and muggy, I don't want a warm drink but I still want my coffee. I also like to enjoy flavored coffee.  This month we are enjoying the Sundae Coffee Variety Pack K-cups.   We received a Sundae Coffee 48 count variety pack filled with flavors like – Butter Pecan, Chocolate Swirl, Dulce de Leche, Ice Cream Sandwich, Maple Walnut, Mint Chocolate Chip, Mocha ...

Take the Pledge – Screen Free Family Nights with A&W Root Beer

A&W is celebrating 100 years of sweet family memories by calling on its fans to create new ones.  And I think it's a wonderful idea! Plus we love A&W Root Beer. This summer, Peyton and I are taking the pledge to go screen-free for at least 1 hour on Friday nights and spend it together.  We are also adding a little A&W Root Beer into our Friday night routine as well. When I was growing up, we would spend evenings playing checkers and enjoying A&W Root Beer Floats. I had ...

June Summer Reading for Third Graders

Here are a few of our favorite books for third grade. Peyton just finished up third grade and I've been watching what she was bringing home and reading. She moved from chapter books to full novels this year and so did many of her classmates. The most popular books for third graders seem to have animals as main characters. Charlotte's Web by E.B. White Some Pig. Humble. Radiant. These are the words in Charlotte's Web, high up in Zuckerman's barn. Charlotte's spiderweb tells of her feelings for ...

Summer Fun at Noah’s Ark Waterpark

Having Wisconsin Dells a short 2 1/2 drive from our home is a treat! Peyton is finally old enough to start enjoying more thrill water slides and has the stamina to go all day.
