Week Off...

Graham had a week break from rotations, so we decided to take advantage of this time together.

We were able to go up to Duluth for a few days. We had dinner with our old neighbors, what a treat!! So fun to see them! Thanks for making us feel so at home :) We love going down to Canal Park to the Lake Walk. The kids had a blast climbing on the rocks, chasing the seagulls, and throwing rocks into the lake :) To top it off, we stayed at The Edgewater which has an indoor water park. All of us had a blast! Poor Isaac ended the trip with the flu, I guess he went down one too many slides...

We continued on and went to Mankato for a quick trip. We had dinner with some old friends at The Tav, and it was fun catching up on life! Doctor appointments kept us busy the entire next day before we headed home.

Unfortunately, Graham got sick once we got home and it continues to hang on even today :( Not the way we wanted to spend his time off, but thank goodness it happened while he was on break! So, the boys and I headed back to Mankato on Friday to play with cousins, and we had a blast! Leaf piles, Halloween pictures, and pizza...doesn't get much better than that for spur of the moment trip! Thanks, Jo! Can't wait to see the pics...the twins enjoyed sliding in their costumes more than anything, so cute!

We did go to a fun little Pumpkin Patch on Saturday. They had hayrides, pumpkin picking, face painting, and a corn maze. All the boys loved the hayride and couldn't get enough of the big tractor :) Sean picked out 3 pumpkins; 2 littles and 1 medium size. We couldn't wait to get home to carve them out! Graham got creative and used his Saws-All to carve the pumpkins this year...he is my tool guy at heart :)

We even cleaned/organized the garage and can finally fit both cars in!! Huge accomplishment for us, as we use our garage for storage...Just in time for frosty morning windows :)

We are counting sleeps until Halloween! Sean informed us it is only 7 more tonight at supper :) I just love holidays!! We decorate for each one, and the twins notice everything! Ohhs and Ahhs are adorable!
