Road Trip To The Country

It was supposed to be just a day off from school – sleeping in, hanging out with friends, playing games.  Instead, I decided that the kids and I would take a road trip to visit my Mom out in the country.  We did a little eating, a little cupcake decorating, a little trekking through the woods and a little pumpkin carving.  A great mix of lots of good things.

We carved pumpkins a bit early for Halloween.  The cool weather we are having may actually preserve them until the 31st.  Unless of course they freeze.  Snow flurries were in the air today and temps were below freezing.  Fall is going by too fast.

Fall Color

It’s a beautiful time of year in the Midwest.  The leaves are changing color.  The evenings are crisp and cool.  We need to enjoy it while it lasts because winter is just around the corner. Here’s a slice of Northern Minnesota from the past week.

Although most of your actual birthday was spent at school, we hope your evening was worth the wait.  Your grandparents surprised you by driving up to celebrate.  We ate one of your favorite dinners – tacos.  We had birthday cake – yellow cake with dark chocolate frosting. We opened presents and enjoyed time as a family.

After school the next day you had a party with friends.  Some laser tag, mini golf and other games at Adventure Zone, pizza, Iron Man 3 movie and a sleepover.  Pancakes and bacon for breakfast.  What could be better?

Happy 13th Birthday!

~Mom, Dad & Sophia
