Fall Fun

Fall Fun

The leaves are turning, the sun is shining, the kids are playing.

What Fun!!!

Fishing on the Elk River

This morning, David, Josiah and Siri got up early and went fishing on the Elk River. As you can see by the pictures (taken by Siri), the fall colors are beautiful on the water. They caught several fish, but still not the big one they are waiting for.

Backyard Marshmellow Roast

Yesterday was a beautiful fall day. After church we went shopping for some winter clothes and then came home and played basketball in the driveway. In the evening, Daddy built a fire in the back yard and we ate pizza and roasted marshmallows. We topped it off with some worship songs on the guitar and thanking God for such a beautiful day.

North Bound

On Wednesday, we decided to go North for the day. We packed the car and headed to Duluth on the shores of Lake Superior. It is amazing to find a port city in the middle of the country. The lake is so large, you can't see the other side. You could almost believe it is the ocean.

Our first stop was the Superior Zoo. It was definitely the highlight of our day and of our Zoo experiences as a whole. 95% of the exhibits had animals that were awake and close and quite entertaining. The bears were especially fun to watch. There was even a nocturnal exhibit with animals that are active at night. It was the most fun we have ever had at a zoo.

Then it was off to the board walk for Lunch and sight seeing. The Fall colors were beautiful. We enjoyed the shops and collecting rocks from the shores. We got to see the draw bridges in action and toped off the day with caramel apples and gummy worms. The drive is about 3 hours so the kids all slept in the car on the way home. Thank you Lord, for such a beautiful day.

Dinner Guest

On Tuesday evening we had our new friends over for Dinner. Paul is the Pastor of the church we attend. He and His wife, Deanna, and their 6 children joined us for our evening meal. We all had so much fun. I don't think I have seen the kids laugh so hard since we got here. It was such a blessing to have such sweet fellowship with true Kindred Spirits. We are so thankful that God has brought them into our lives.

More Guest

On Monday, My Dad, Mom and Sister arrived for a short visit. They drove up from Georgia and stopped here for 3 days before continuing on to California. It was fun to show them our new home and get Dad's professional advice on lawn and garden care. The kids had a great time with Grandma and Grandma. They loved getting lost in the woods with Grandpa and getting Grandma to rub lotion on their feet every night.

Weekend Chores
Last weekend David decided it was finally time to tackle the weeds growing next to our garden. They were so tall people were beginning to mistake it for a corn field. He really got in to it and had it done in no time.....Yeah Daddy!!
