As we made our way at the beginning of August to “National Night Out” we stopped by the park (because I thought that’s where it was going to be at first.)
Not quite sure why Newbie wasn’t in the frame for these pictures, but after a quick slide each we continued on our way.

On the last day of July we were treated with a nice steady rain.
Naturally Newbie went out and danced in it.
Late July on one of the grocery runs they accompanied me on, Newbie and Thunderer decided to have fun posing with the object while Superman looked on.

He loved getting right up on Little Miss and cuddling.

As I process the pictures I came across this set of sweet sleepers in quick succession near the end of June and beginning of July 2022.
Why not enjoy presenting them all four together?
There was a lot of art on campus. Heck, some of the buildings themselves seem like works of art.
This was probably one of my favorites though.
(Unknown dude for accidental scale.)

All I wanted was a cliff bar between orientation sessions.
All I got… was heartbreak.

I was really impressed with this large state university’s orientation process. It’s definately not their first rodeo.

If we’re in the Twin Cities, where do we go eat that’s nice and close now that we’re checked into the hotel and before we officially park for orientation itself? (They let us just park in the front drop off driveway as we unloaded our bags.)
Looking at the Google Maps of the area previously, we already had a good idea of where we were going to go:
We haven’t been to an Old Chicago for a few years at this point, so it was a very welcome revisit.
So things were out of order, as I think I’ve already hinted at some of this orientation weekend already for Little Miss, but the order of events seem to be getting back on track properly now.
It was a really fancy hotel.
If I had to do it again though, I don’t think I’d have done things differently. It was a bit on the expensive side, but fortunately there was an orientation discount. This particular hotel was literally on campus, so we were able to start our day of orientation without any trouble with traffic and we just walked right to where we needed to be to start things off.
