Gender Stereotype Saturday

 The boys shot guns with Grandpa Todd, hung out at the camper while a deer was shot by Caden, and went to the Rushford bowling alley for meat-eaters pizza.  Charlie learned about guns, shot some for the first time and played some "pull-ups" (pull tabs).

The girls picked up our new Roborock vacuum (Fred), went to the nail salon, shopped at Kohls and got a salty and sweet treat.

GREAT DAY FOR ALL!

Fall Soccer Winding Down

 Claire practices right by Onna's house and was asking about her so Nick texted her and she stopped by!

This was her last game.  The team had to scrimmage each other since the opposing team had a COVID case.  She ended the season how she began- by scoring a goal! Proud of our girl.

Beautiful Fall Day!

 We spent Sunday morning at Quarry Hill. The fall colors are awesome!

Double Digits!

 Charlie turned TEN!  He celebrated by fishing and having Chipotle on his actual birthday and then had some friends over on the weekend for some video games, pizza and a sleepover.

Fence Project

 Nick, Dan and Charlie (for maybe a few minutes in between playing with his friends) put up the privacy fence for the hot tub area.  The hot tub is expected earlier than originally thought- maybe sometime in the next couple of weeks.  We are excited!

All done!  Doesn't Nick look thrilled for the next project? Planting trees!

Decorah Day Trip

 We spent the best fall day in Decorah!

Dunning's Spring Park

Hike to Ice Cave

Ice cream stop!

Fish Hatchery

Phelps Park

Fancy!  Supper at Toppling Goliath

We stropped at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum even though it was closed.  We've been reading the first book in the series.  Charlie said he wanted to go in and see Pa's gun above the door.  Oh well, another time.

Orchard Day

 We went to Claire's soccer game and stopped at the orchard on the way home.  Claire and I made some applesauce the next day and then forgot all about it watching the Vikings and playing outside. Soo...it ended up being a burned, sticky mess in the crockpot that took days to soak and scrub off.  Oops! 

Soccer is Here!

 The first time when we showed up an hour late to practice and missed the whole thing...

The second time when we got to the game (close to on time) without any practices.  The girls pulled out a win and Claire got the first goal of the season!
