Ice Skating Lessons 2014

The girls are doing skating lessons once again this year!  The week of Halloween parents got to skate too and the kids dressed up for a skating party!  So much fun!  We're looking forward to our rink on the pond again this winter! 

Happy Halloween 2014

We had a fantastic Halloween!  I love it when Halloween falls on a Friday!  This year we had our neighborhood friends over for some pizza and then we all went out trick-or-treating together!  It was quite the crew......I think we had about 15 kids!  The girls had so much fun!  Maggie was a crazy doctor and Ruby couldn't decide which princess she was, so it just depended on when you asked her which princess she was at the moment.  After trick-or-treating some of the families stayed- the kids watched a movie downstairs and the adults had a bonfire outside!  Fun evening with great people!

Run for the Apples!

Maggie and I ran one of my favorite trail races of the year.  Run for the Apples is a 5 mile trail run at Pine Tree Apple Orchard in White Bear Lake.  Such a fun morning!  Maggie ran the kids run which was about 1/4 mile.  Maggie's race also went through the orchard and they all finished at the big finish line!  We had to get a picture with our matching medals!  One of us didn't take it off all day!  So cute!

2014 Fall Fun!!

Grandma Alice took us on another fun Pumpkin Train ride this year!  It has been such a great tradition to ride the old train from Osceola to Dresser where the kids pick out a pumpkin from the patch and enjoy face painting and jumpy houses and even a little haunted house with a dance party at the end!  Gotta love that!  Thanks Grandma for the fun time :)  Oh, and this year there was even a live band and they played our favorite song- You Are My Sunshine
The cousins had so much fun together!!
