Fall Activities

We spent as much time as we could outside this fall by hitting up all the fall festivals, pumpkin patches, and state parks in the region.  I'll go with any excuse to pull out the scarves and apple cider.  Let's get the fall party started!

Meanwhile, since fall has rolled around and Gus has started school, he really into projects and drawing.  So when it was Nora's first fall share day at preschool, it was a no-brainer that she'd bring her Cinderella doll plus a Gus original watercolor, entitled 'Cinderella'.

She couldn't have been more excited or proud to share it.

We also hit up the Fall Home Show as a family, including Grandpa Steve and Grandma Debi.  We're so thrilled that Grandpa Steve is now in Fargo full-time!

Nora and Ava at the Buffalo River Pumpkin Patch.

The 1st weekend of October, I took a weekend trip down to Minneapolis to spend with the gals and run the Twin Cities 10 Mile.  It was a chilly but beautiful run!  Michelle broke all sorts of records, and I just finished without walking.  Yes!

We took an afternoon family road trip to Maplewood State Park to see the fall colors.

And finally, we experienced another bountiful harvest - in our backyard.  This is the 2nd year that our precious tiny honeycrisp apple tree produced fruit.

What a great fall!
