Visiting Klauser Family in Utah

The last few days ended our summer of travel.  We headed west to visit dad's brother's family in Utah.  They, unfortunately, are moving to California soon so we knew we had to see them before they left.  We are so glad we did and regret not going out there sooner.  The sights were stunning, hospitality was lovely and the memories are lifelong ones.  While there, we watched Greta's circus performance, went hiking, did adventure activities, gondola ride, rafting, splash park, trampoline park, and us ladies went to see the broadway show, Cinderella.  Non-stop fun!  

Special thank you to Uncle Shawn, Aunt Amelia, Liam and Greta for having us out and spoiling us rotten.  We love you all.

Big Truck Day

A few days ago, our local library had its annual "Big Truck Day".  It's a day devoted to teaching children all about transportation here in Minnesota.  There was a snowplow, firetruck, police car, SWAT, school bus, and ambulance.  The kids were able to go inside and check out fun things about each vehicle.  The boys loved it, Elyse enjoyed it but was way more excited to check out the books in the library afterward :)

Taylor's Falls

Today was a perfect weather day to be outside!  We decided this morning to adventure 45 minutes north to Taylor's Falls, MN.  Taylor's Falls is known for its beautiful views of the St. Croix River, hiking trails, and beach.  When friends asked what we were doing today we decided to ask for them to join in the fun.  It was such a great relaxing family-friends day!
