Autumn Adventures

We spent some time up at Kathio State Park and Lake Mille Lacs a few weeks ago. The weather was perfect! It was a bit past peak, but we still enjoyed the beauty of autumn in Minnesota. Then, a week later, Eric & I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary in Rochester. We walked the skyways & subways, and ate at our favorite restaurants. It was fun spending time together as a couple after our family trip!

Costume Time

We don't really celebrate Halloween, but we still love donning our costumes and "treating" ourselves at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival every fall! We went a few weeks ago. We go on family-friendly Festival Friday, which is meant to be more educational for children. This year, the boys went as the hobbits Samwise, Frodo, Merry & Pippin from "The Lord of the Rings". They got knighted, and enjoyed eating turkey legs! The girls dressed up as archers, and did some shopping for gifts. It was an amazing day! So many great memories were made!
