I could really use a $7 machete

Jacob and I spent a good deal of time together today. While Andrea went to her water rescue drill out at Warner Lake, he and I played outside, went to Denny and Mary Lou's house, dropped off some mail in St. Cloud, stopped at the bank, picked up a brake light for Andrea's car, visited all the firefighters, visited Sarah and Becca, and went home for a snack and a nap.

Unfortunately, I was under the impression that Andrea brought her grandma's computer back to her, so when I got to their house, I was unable to setup their computer because it was still in my basement. Oops.

Not to be content with a busy morning, the three of us went to St. Cloud with Doug and Sarah to see what killer deals Sportsman's Warehouse had for their store closing (answer: few, if any), to burn up a five year old Gander Mountain gift card (hello, new 6 qt dutch oven), to have dinner at Leann Chin, to setup Mary Lou's computer, and then to see if I could make use of a $50 Scheels gift card (which I couldn't).

This is one of a handful of pictures I took today at Warner Lake. While it was rather cold out, Jake never seems to mind it and is always happy toddling about.
