Picking Apples

We had wonderful weather for picking apples this year. It is one of my favorite fall traditions.

September 2016

Sixteen excited girls became Brownies after crossing over the bridge.

 Dave turned 42 and we got a chance to go mountain biking.

First day of school and Labor Day

Evie, Elise, and Eva waiting for the bus.

 Eva is in 2nd grade with Mrs. Walters and she wants to be a Librarian and Dance teacher.

 Hudson is looking forward to his second year at Pewaukee Lake Montessori. His teacher is Miss Ashley and he wants to be a bus driver or a bike mechanic.

 Luke is in 5th grade with Mrs. Chiello and he wants to be a architect or designer for planes, airports, or cars.

 Saturday night we enjoyed the sunset right from our back yard.

 We had a good visit with Bailey on Sunday.

 On Labor Day we went paddle boarding with Bryce, Beth, Bennett, and Boden. Erica, Chez, and Hope came as well.

Arrowhead Football and the Dells

Brady and Luke enjoying sitting by each other during the football game.

 Eva is all ready to shine in the Friday night lights.

 We took a final summer trip to Chula Vista. As usual the kids love being the luggage.

 First stop... Moose Jaw Pizza!

 Family game night was a hit with Hudson trying to guess the clue in his headband.

 It was a little cool the first morning so we started with 18 holes of mini-golf. Hudson was much improved because he just went to a mini-golf birthday party for his friend Logan.

 The kids did almost every water slide inside and out however we recorded that on video. We do not have pictures of the space ship slide, the racer slides, ruby run, but the kids had a great time. Here is the small lazy river. We also enjoyed the wave pool that we did not take a picture of.

 Last stop... Buffalo Phil's! We love being together.

Green Meadows

Our first trip to Green Meadows was wonderful. The kids were able to explore all the activities and see all the animals. We went in search of a bunny that Eva could hold. We were not able to find a bunny, however she was able to hold a kitten. The kids also loved the zip line in the barn as well as the indoor slide into hay. It was a wonderful end of summer activity.

 This is the only bunny we found which was probably too big to hold anyhow.

 This would be great to have in the back yard!

 Last trip on the tractor wagon ride.
