Train Rides, Hay Rides, and Fall Fun!

Fall is here and we've added more pictures to the picasa web album! Last Saturday morning we headed out to Osceola for a pumpkin train ride. Grandma, Toni, Sid, Maggie and Cullen and I rode the old fashion train up to Dresser where we got off and picked out a pumpkin, went through a hay maze and the kids got their faces painted. It was one more chance to get a wear out of Maggie's Halloween costume too! After the train ride, we headed back to Grandma and Grandpas. The kids got in a quick nap just in time for a hay ride through the wooded trails behind the farm. It was a lot of fun and something we're hoping might be the start of a new tradition!

Summer ends at the cabin and Fall begins with Football!

We were lucky enough to end our summer with some great cabin weekends! The pictures above are of the Bossen's home, the Souvignier cabin, and the Schiller cabin. Also, Fall has arrived and football season has begun in the new Gopher stadium! More pics have been added to the web album.
Maggie update: Maggie is now 15 months! It's crazy how much she is learning every week! She loves to mimic everything and everyone- even Lou! Her transition back to day care went pretty well. There were tears the first three days, but after that she was tear free! The first few days when I picked her up she took my hand and walked me around to each of the kids as she waved goodbye! She handled the transition even better than mom!

Camping, Friends, Fish Fry

Well, it's the end of August, and summer is coming to a close. It's been a go, go, go summer, but lots of fun!! We are so lucky to have such great family and friends!! We've added to the August album in picasa as well as the few pictures from this post. The first few pictures are of us camping with Grandma and Grandpa Demulling up north on the St. Croix River near Great Grandma and Grandpa's cabin. The Schiller and Sargent kids are also in one of the pictures, now there's one more little Sargent- Congrats Jeff and Kristie!! The last picture is of Maggie with her Great Aunt Marlene in Sioux Falls for the annual Souvignier Family Fish Fry.

Time to wake up!

Fun times with the cousins!

Fun times at Como Zoo and Eden Prairie Center with the cousins! Grandma Alice joined us at the zoo and even brought a picnic lunch for all of us! Maggie has started to love walking and chose to push her stroller instead of ride in it! We had a great time checking out all of the animals- our favorites were the tiny baby monkey and the parrot that said two things- "hello" and "it's not my fault". Kinda weird?!?
