big girl pants, bits and pieces, buds, electronics, Fargo, goldfinches, Grand Forks, hibiscus, tri-colour

discovered a few pictures on my phone that I wanted to share from our weekend in Fargo and Grand Forks…

this one shows the boys at a charging station in Starbucks… we were taking a break with a variety of beverages and resting our feet… phones and tablets were plugged in for a brief time so that no one would end up with a dead piece of electronics…

20140728-230859-83339575.jpgtonight I got a couple of excellent shots of the hibiscus… today it has two red blooms and two yellow ones…

20140728-231118-83478622.jpgthis one looks nice against the purple door…

20140728-231219-83539436.jpgI am wondering if the plant puts out more blossoms when it is stressed, because every time I look at it, seems it is in need of water… but there are numerous buds ready to open…

and tonight I saw two boy goldfinches at the feeder… yay…

Grand Forks, home, on the road, sky, sunset, treasures, wind mills

finally home after a busy and fun weekend with the kids in the States…

we got up around nine this morning and after breakfast went for the last visit to the water park… it is lovely to watch how the boys spend time together as well as separately in the water…

final fun in the water park...

final fun in the water park…

then we packed up all of our stuff and headed to Grand Forks… visited three or four stores… had tacos for lunch and a very lovely dinner at a great steak house the kids had been to before… final few items picked up, and we were on the road home…

the sky was lovely…

clouds on our drive home...

the final purchase had been a few movies for the trip home…

"watching" a movie...

“watching” a movie…

happily we breezed through the border and drove past the wind mills (turbines) as the sun was setting… sadly the car windows were covered in bugs again, but I was able to get a few good shots…

sunset at the wind mills...

kids dropped me off and I brought in all my goodies…

too late for a hot tub… I am going to bed!
