Fall Fun!

Soccer has started again, Ben is not so sure what he thinks of soccer but he certainly loves to kick the ball. His favorite is the game call "clean up the back yard" where each team tries to keep all the balls on the other side of the field.

Last weekend we headed to the MN Zoo with the kids. It was a chilly morning but we dressed for the weather and walked and walked and walked. The zoo had so much to see and here are some the the kids' favorites.

Sunday we went to an apple orchard. We decided to try a new one this year and we loved it. We went to Fall Harvest Orchard in Delano. It is a small working farm so the kids were put to work when we got there. Ben helped pick the eggs in the chicken coop.

                                             They helped hold the little baby chicks
                              

                                                      Ben helped feed the goats.

Night at the Station

So all summer we have been doing BBQ's with our friends to replace our weekly softball games. In August Liz and Steve hosted the dinner at the Chanhassen Fire Station. The Kids LOVED it! They all got to go for a ride in a fire truck, play with the equipment, try on all Steve's gear and climb all over the trucks.

Ready for their ride!

Cabin Friends

The Moseley Family joined us for a weekend at the cabin. It was filled with donuts, freezes and fun!

                                        I think Tucker enjoyed the weekend at the lake the most fun

           By Sunday lunch poor Addie was falling asleep at the table. That is signs of a great weekend!

More Cabin Fun

The Kids just cannot get enough of Middle Cullen. It has been so much fun watching the kids enjoy weekends on the lake. They love to swim and play in the sand.

                              
                              
Grandpa can even pull them around with dad by the little 8 horse motor on the fishing boat. Last weekend our neighbor took them for a ride on the speed boat and they thought that was pretty cool.
                              
                              
                              
                            Even Jameson likes chilling on the dock. He is all smiles out there.
                              
                              
                                      Nothing like a good Freeze in the summer heat!

                 Olivia even got her first turn at the golf course. She just loved riding around in the cart and running around on the greens. Ben was with us for the first 9 and she got the back 9.
