What reward is on my ankles that makes this fly risk his life repeatedly to obtain?
My Mom has been embroidering on this Folk Fest chair for over a decade. She adds new things every year she comes.
This giant sandpit / beach area 🏖 is a great idea for Winnipeg Folk Festival kids area.
Kids made finger puppets at the Winnipeg Folk Festival kids tent.
Awesome to see Peter Yarrow, of Peter, Paul and Mary, playing at family tent!
Peter Yarrow called all the kids on stage to sing Puff, the Magic Dragon with him. Mazie and Tyler to his right. So great!
Parachute at Winnipeg Folk Festival family area.
Peter Yarrow blew us away. Playing the family tent, pure folk music. A high point of the Winnipeg Folk Festival. Legend. 🎼 ☮️ 💟
Peter Yarrow: “I changed the ending of Puff, the Magic Dragon. You want to know why? … Cause I can!” Puff doesn’t die anymore.
Richard Inman on Little Stage in the Woods. Winnipeg Folk Festival. Great!

“Green team sucks!” Terrible calls tonight.
Great game tonight from MNUFC, even without the win. Lots of pressure and didn’t get any breaks. Looking forward to next year at the Bank! ⚽️
Excited to have the whole family heading to Brandi Carlile show in Mankato! Mazie and Tyler love her songs too!
Tyler and I went to see the Jungle Book. It was the first time him and I went to a movie by ourselves. It was a fun movie, very well done. Tyler liked it a lot, didn’t find it scary at all.

McFarland, USA. Nice feel good movie for the whole family. Even Tyler watched the whole thing and I thought he might get bored.

Mazie and I went to a Daddy Daughter dance tonight. Her favorite thing of the night? “Everything.” That is winning! #DadOps
Caricature from the night.
Kids Book: Finding Winnie

Tyler got Finding Winnie for Christmas this year and it’s a really awesome book. If your kid has any affinity to Winnie-the-Pooh they will love this book. Even if they don’t, it’s still a great book. Really well done and one of the better books for a bedtime story. Recommended!
Two urgent care visits in one vacation is a new record. (First Tyler, now me!)
Positive for strep throat.
Says a lot about Disney World that even Impetigo and Strep Throat can’t take the magic away! 😊👍🏻
