Day 2857 | Chippewa Falls Fun Day

Chase and I had such a fun day together. We explored Chippewa Falls—a neighboring city to Eau Claire where we never spend any time. We went to a new food market, explored the riverfront bench swings, enjoyed root beer floats, supported a few local shops, learned a lot at the Chippewa Falls Museum of Industry and Technology, and more…if you can believe it!

Thank goodness for no plans and the space to explore. Today was a lovely day.

Day 2846 | 4-H Fair Time

We did it! We made it to the fair project drop off. Between both boys, we delicately delivered 41 projects—from posters to candles, and photography to Legos. This was probably my favorite fair-prep season so far. I had so much fun passing on my crafting and design knowledge—and trying out new projects, too. The boys were very patient and motivated through it all.

Judging starts tomorrow so I’ll be sure to report back!

Day 2844 | 4-H Mania

It’s 4-H project season around here and we’re getting things wrapped up. If all goes as planned, the boys will be entering 43 projects this time around (total, not each). I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I do love 4-H fair season. It’s a lot of work with sometimes minimal motivation but it is very cool to see what they accomplish.

Day 2842 | Trolley Ride

It’s been almost a month since I last posted. I’m not going to apologize because I don’t feel like I had much say in the matter. Summer is crazy and blogging just hasn’t made it to the top of my list, unfortunately.

I’ll chime in today, though, with this sweet photo of Chase and me on a trolley tour. I’ve been waiting 1.5 years to get on this thing and it finally happened today thanks to a dear friend’s birthday. It was every bit as fun as I had imagined. Take a trolley tour—you won’t regret it!
