Softball Saturday

 Claire had an early doubleheader and the team was short a coach so Nick and Charlie helped the girls warm up and then coached first base.  We also went to Sekapp for some apples and pumpkins.  The bonus this year was beignets.  They were YUMMY.

The first photo showed up on timehop and I got it in my head to recreate it.  There was minimal grumbling.  WIN.

Sports Highlights

Mayo played Byron, which means Charlie played his BFF, Eli.  Had to snap a picture even though the Byron coach was yelling at Eli to get on the bus.

Claire got the game winning, walk-off, 2 RBI hit!  She also spent some time in the dugout paying zero attention to the game.  Now we need more eye black...

State Fair

 We got there early, found some good food and went on some rides on a perfect weather day.  The record breaking crowd made things pretty tricky by 1:30 so we bailed early.  We avoid weekends for a reason but couldn't make it work this year.  Fun nonetheless.

Nick and Claire=twins

The new place we tried!  Claire got the cotton candy tea that changes color when you stir it with the rock candy stick

I'd barf but they didn't

Had to stop by the DNR building and pond

Traditional stop at the MN Lottery- big $5 winners!

Just a few people at the fair...

Claire's first time in the Haunted Mansion and she came out happy!  I'll always be the drink holder while they all go.
