We went to Jim and Jill's annual end-of-the-summer party. Charlie and Claire got to ride Apache and play with lots of different kids. They had a lot of fun climbing a rock pile, catching beetles and just running around together.

Great MN Get-Together
Today was our annual trip to the State Fair. It definitely gets easier as the kids get older!
Butterfly House
Rides
Little Farm Hands- the kids did chores around the farm and earned a free ice cream sandwich at the end!

Fire Station
We visited the fire station with our playgroup this morning. Summer is officially over for the teacher kids. Back to work on Monday. I will miss the laid back days of summer with this group!

Last Day
We spent our last summer day at the farm yesterday. The kids got to help feed some baby birds, swim and have pizza and cookies for lunch. We will sure miss being able to go and spend time there every week.

Sunday Funday
We went hiking at Quarry Hill, biked to the "Little Library" in our neighborhood (Claire rocked her first long bike ride!) and went to see CCR at Down by the Riverside. It was such a nice day!
Charlie was super proud of this picture for some reason (?)

MOA/I hate semis
Charlie went to an all-day sports camp on Thursday, so Claire and I had a girls day at Mall of America.
This happened on the way there (another semi incident). The truck driver was nice and used a bungee cord to tie everything up so it was drivable. I'm pretty much done with this car. It has to be cursed. I'm trying to convince Nick that this car is trying to kill me so I can get something new. He just says that I should stop hitting stuff.

Catching Crayfish
Jarrett and Taylor were catching crayfish in the creek last week so Charlie came prepared with his net and goggles this week.

Charlie's first catch
Looking...
Some little (and hard to catch) ones!
A couple big ones
Claire's second time in the creek!

Camper
We went on a short hike and found some shiny rocks to add to the camper collection.
Claire was very excited to wear her "just like Charlie shirt" (camo Carhartt).
Post-Bath Snack
If you need a sandwich idea, this is pepperoni, deer sticks, salami, string cheese and extra mustard. Yum??

Kid Olympics
It was our turn to host our friends. We did an Olympic theme. The kids competed in a watermelon seed spitting contest, 3-legged race and a potato sack race. It was a fun morning!

The medalists!
Tuesday Action
Candy for breakfast, messy scavenger hunts, a chipmunk vet clinic, swimming in the rain and mustard sandwiches for lunch...it must be an end-of-the-summer Tuesday!
RAC
We haven't spent much time at the RAC this summer, but it's fun when we go and see friends there. Charlie is big enough to go down the waterslide now, so he went down about 50 times last time we were there.
