Mazie got started on her LEGO Typewriter! Through bag 3 building the keys. I’m excited to see this finished.
Now that the temperatures are out of the deep freeze Mazie and I took Lucky on a walk. Walking on this snowmobile packed snow was like walking on sand.
Tyler’s LEGO Loop Coaster is really tall! The structure alone is very impressive. I can’t wait to see it go!!!
Tyler is making great progress on the LEGO Loop Coaster, already done through bag 7!
Getting ready for history to be made! Tyler and I got a selfie with Messi! Cheering for Argentina at my brothers place on Lake Pokegama! 🇦🇷⚽️🎉
Mazie had an awesome idea and collected things everyone was thankful for and then put it together. Love this! 🥰

Avalanche (Tyler’s team) v Plymouth 2 team facing off on the pitch this morning. Minnetonka Rec Soccer. ⚽️
I got my Ethereum Mainnet Merge POAP today! It goes perfectly with my Ropsten Merge and Goerli Merge tokens. Tyler got one too.
On our bike ride today as we were rounding our way around Lake Harriet and coming home Tyler caught the edge of the trail and crashed on his bike, right in front of me. I then slammed on my brakes trying to not run into or over him and went completely over my handlebars. We both got scrapped up and are nursing some significant road rash. Both of our helmets will need to be replaced. Glad we are super consistent about wearing our helmets. But we are okay and will heal up just fine.
My Mom is helping Mazie get the Tomatoes under control. Only 4 plants but they have all gone MASSIVE! 🍅
Great OneRepublic show tonight! Set list was just right and hit all the favorites. Tyler’s favorite band. 🎶
Iceland Log Day 15
Saturday, August 6th
Nice Icelandic day, a little misty in afternoon, no wind.
Our final full day of this epic Iceland 2022 trip! To frame the day, imagine that each of us had a few things on our list that we wanted to get done before we finished our trip. The net of that is a lot of walking around, various tasks, and a wide variety of things!
Jump to day 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 or Iceland 2022: Ring Road collection.
This is the most extreme vehicle we have seen in Iceland yet! Mazie included for scale. 😲
Tammy and I, along with Mazie and Tyler, celebrated our 20th Anniversary tonight while in Iceland with a nice dinner at Vogafjós, a farm-to-table restaurant on Lake Mývatn. Every year gets even better! 💕
At Chanhassen Dinner Theatres for Footlose! Mazie and Tyler’s first time here. 🎶🎭
