A Beautiful Fall Day

I'm so glad we have seasons in Minnesota (well, sometimes).

It has been so nice and warm this fall, we made a little trip to Minnehaha Falls.

Our Summer

Ok, time to do a little catching up. Here's a little recap of our summer

Over the 4th of July weekend we went to Big Sandy Family Camp. It was great and I can't wait to go again, but it's not gonna happen until Micah is about 5. Camping in general was not designed for almost 2-year-olds. The cabins were awesome, it was more like we had our own little air conditioned dorm room with our own bathroom; not exactly the rustic sleeping bag bunks in hot cabins that I remember as a kid. But, the naps and the schedules were a little tricky, so we'll definitely return when we have a kid that is not nap-dependent. But hearing a bell ring afar off and knowing you just show up and eat was sooo nice.
This was the chapel at the camp:

Micah and I have put a lot of miles on our little rickshaw.

We've spent lots of time at the park.

..and a little time at the ballpark.

A little time in the sprinkler at Grandma and Grandpa's

Every year at Neighboorhood Bible Time (Vacation Bible School in some circles) at our church the firetruck comes on "water night"

Here are a couple of pictures from my cousin Emily's wedding. That is my mom holding Micah and 3 of my cousins.

The State Fair

I thought this sign was so funny. And sooo glad that Micah was taller than two chickens.

We also went on a missions trip to OshKosh, WI with our church. We support a missionary that runs a printing press that prints Bibles and books. We helped in the printing press putting together books for 2 days. I'm not sure why I like collating, book-binding machinery, and office supplies so much, but I really liked it.
