Dinosaur Day

Joe and I spent time with Charlote and Caleb today. A local deep dish cookie company ran a promotion in the Buffalo Cub parking lot. Advertised as: Mighty animatronic dinosaurs will join the Top Food Truck in America with Deep Dish Cookies!! Come see our numerous animatronic dinosaurs including T-Rex, Spinosaurus, and Triceratops. We will be featuring our Raptor Enclosure, dinosaur photo opportunities and much more!

My favorite 'chicks'

After Grandpa Joe walked the kids through the display, we ate cookies and then headed to Lake Rebecca Park to let them run off the sugar from the cookies.

Time with Caleb and Charlotte was an enjoyable way to spend a Friday afternoon. Caleb mentioned it was too hot to be outdoors for long with temperatures around 84 degrees. After running around at the park, Charlotte removed her headband telling us it was too hot for headbands. I am sorry to hear our California friends are enduring temperatures of thirty degrees hotter!

Joe spent the cooler morning hours working in the yard. He is making progress; however, there is still quite a bit to do. At dinner he asked me to begin research on the best apple and pear trees for the Minnesota climate, information on pollination requirements, and the best time to plant. 

 I spent my morning on financial records and ordering five cubic yards of 1-½” buff limestone decorative rock for areas of the yard that are finished and will not have grass or mulch. When we get back from Ohio in August, we will be ordering about nine hundred square feet of sod to install in places the retaining wall installer’s equipment tore up the yard. Joe has the soil prepared; however, the sod needs attention every day for three weeks and it cuts it to close to our trip.

Another fine Minnesota day!
