Happy Halloween

This year was a beautiful Halloween, with temperatures in the high 60s, just perfect.  Therefore, we took many opportunities to do outdoor activities but didn't capture pictures.  We spent our weekend, at two Trunk-o-Treats, went to a huge Legacy Halloween party, and then Trick-o-Treating Halloween night.  Such a fun way to celebrate a fun holiday.  Elyse had other things going on and therefore, wasn't able to participate in it all or capture pictures.

Deep Portage

The past few days, Kallen and Dad joined the rest of the fifth-grade class, teachers, and parents up north at a camp called, "Deep Portage".  While there they learned a lot about nature and preserving it, like building fires, making shelters, working as a team, rock climbing, getting lost in the middle of the woods, archery, and other games.  

Grandparent's Day

Today was Grandparent's Day, and unfortunately with dad and Kallen being gone, and dad's huge test next Saturday, it worked better for Grandpa and Grandma to visit a different weekend.  Therefore, Grandparent's day involved just Nana.  Therefore, Ian knew Nana couldn't be at two spots at once and therefore, asked our great school friend Sue Happ, whom kids call, "Nana Happ" to go as their grandma too.  It made her cry and worked great.  Ian and Maddie loved having Nana there, going to the book fair, and performing their songs, but their highlight of the day by far was going to Willy McCoys afterward and getting great food, and an amazing dessert!
