5 July, 2019 - daycare was closed... #DiamondLkGirls got to spend the day w/ Daddy — The State of Minnesota Inspector General of Everything, or MN-IGE. Neither heat, nor humidity, nor toddlers, nor ridiculous acts of unruliness, will prevent the MN-IGE from doing their job. 1st, we checked the Native grasses at Lake of the Isles (found a few non-compliant reeds - removed them). 2nd, inspected the Rock placed by The Daughters of The American Revolution, in 1934 (it’s still sedimentary). 3rd, sat in a Good Chair Project bench & discussed the pros & cons of not facing the lake (to the right, your left) - no consensus was achieved. 4th, we had a snack - gummy things, a big hit, & fun to squish on the hot wooden bench. 5th, checked out the old tree in the lake, still standing, healthy as can be. 6th, looked over the Lilies of the [ ]Alley - they looked nice. 7th, tried to verify the height of the corn, Southeast of Elko New Market (which has a Dominoes Pizza, if you’re wondering), but kept falling down as the earth was uneven & measuring corn is silly - as “the knee” is a very subjective measuring device. 8th, looked for Zebra Mussels at Prior Lake, the girls thought they might be hiding amongst the Black & White spotted rocks, didn’t find any. 9th, tried to check on the integrity of the roller coasters at Valley Fair but somehow ended up in the parking lot of @badgerhillbeer - so we said Hello to the folks & went on our way, w/ windows down, in the pouring rain (checking for acid levels in the precipitation). 10th, The Inspector made it through the day, no worse for the wear. And the girls now know what Daddy does for work ;) ° #diamondlkphotography #greatermn #lakeoftheisles #priorlake #craftbeer #daughtersoftheamericanrevolution #kneehighbythefourthofjuly #farming #cornfield #selfie #MNIGE #hotandhumid #mnsummer #toddlerlife #daddydaycare #fridayfun #bigday #adventure #mpls #mn #exhausted #inspector (at Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzj1BlOF_Q4/?igshid=1p6wxmdidwhym
