Fall Leaves

Carter with his early Christmas present from his grandpa, a new rake.  He put it to good use right away.

A Day at the Beach - Surf City

Not too often that you have a 75 degree beach weather mid November! We took the opportunity to head out to Surf City yesterday to enjoy an almost perfect fall day at the beach. Carter played in the sand with bucket and shovel. He remembered the beach and the fun from last year summer and did not want to leave. Sawyer was a trooper at his first beach outing. He wasn't intimidated by the wind, sun and ocean waves. Jen had her exercise of the day by going up and down the stairs of the condo. She helped Carter with his sand digging expedition while Sawyer enjoyed a quick beach nap. Paul did a fine job being our chauffeur. We probably won't be back to Surf City until the New Year's for the "dolphin dip" festival.

Halloween 2011 in Rochester

Visiting Jen, Carter, and Sawyer in Rochester, MN. Arrived on Halloween morning and went out trick-or-treating that evening. Here are some photos of Sawyer and Carter in their costumes.

Sawyer was a little monkey and Carter was Optimus Prime (a Transformer)
