A Peak at Last Autumn

It's almost summer! How did that happen?!  As you are aware, I never got my pictures up throughout the year. It has been such a busy school year and I have had very little time at home or on the computer. I still want to share a bit of our autumn with our extended family and friends, who may not know what we've been up to since October.

So here we go: 

My little roller girl, making Auntie Cass proud! Could her roller derby name be The Great Bugsby? 

We enjoyed the Apple Festival held at the Gibbs Museum during the first weekend of October. 

This is a young Cam Jansen pumpkin, which we made for a school project and also kept on our front step for Halloween. Miss Doodle loves these books! They got her excited and motivated to read. I credit them with helping her to go from easy readers to chapter books.

Here they are ready to go trick or treating. Miss Doodle looked very menacing as a vampire, while Bug turned on the charm as an adorable fairy princess.

We enjoyed our annual tradition of picking Haralson apples at Fischer's in Hastings. We didn't make it down there until November. Lucky for us that the weather was mild or we might have missed out on all of the fun and apple crisp that followed. 

This orchard has a big wooden train. The girls enjoyed posing playing on it. 

So much for getting a nice shot of the three of us. Somebody was not being very cooperative. 

We had a party at the local nature center for Miss Doodle's seventh birthday in November. We enjoyed meeting a turtle and going for a lovely nature hike. She also gave a big thumbs up to the DQ ice cream cake. Yummo! 

Before autumn's beauty faded we took a trip down to, my favorite place in Minnesota, Nine Mile Creek, located in Bloomington. We had fun doing our own little photo shoot. I'm glad we did. It's nice to have lovely pictures of my girls that I will cherish for a lifetime.
