A Fall Post

I figured that I had better get a post up for fall since it is almost winter! We have so many pictures to share! The kids had a great rest of the summer - the fair was a blast as it always is, Jr. High has proven to be a fun and hectic place for Taylor and Ian is really fitting in at his new school. My classes are also going well - most are online this semester. This will be the last semester that I will enjoy that luxury!

Here's some pictures from back in July that are mostly from Ian playing t-ball.


And then we went camping for my birthday. We were at the Rice Creek Park Reserve in Lino Lakes, MN. While we really did have a great time for the couple of days we were there, the drunk teenagers across from us on the last night kind of put a dent in things. We ended up calling the police twice and woke up to one of them peeing in Rob's chair at our fire pit at 5:00 in the morning. The pictures are still fun and we plan to go camping again with Uncle Rob next summer.


We also went to the Japanese Lantern Festival at Como in August. The pictures are great, but they just do not do the beauty of this event justice.


These pictures are some random end-of-summer goodies:


Then we come to the Minnesota State Fair. We had a great twelve days of fun and we ended it with the neighborhood breakfast on the last day as we always do. But this year there was a twist - most of us also got fair-dos before we left that morning!


We also have pictures of Ian playing soccer and some from his class during awards day. These are from October.


Last on the list of pictures are the ones from Halloween last night. Taylor was death and Ian was Darth Vader. The weather was great this year!
