October 2017 - the Magic Kingdom!

We spent two days at the Magic Kingdom, which was surprisingly crowded for mid-week visits in October. Don't people work and go to school?! Compared to previous visit where the boys have been cautious about the rides... they are now in full roller coaster mode. We did the Thunder Mountain Railroad, the 7 Dwarfs Mine, and Space Mountain.  Anna and Farmor were more content with the rides shooting up aliens and driving race cars. But a fun time it was!

Out of town visitors!

Slightly belated... We received visitors over the October school break!
Aunt Anna and Farmor came to visit for a few days. It was a whirlwind tour of the country fueled by coffee and sunshine as they landed in Minnesota for a few days before heading on a plan to Florida. With the multitude of photos i'll split those into a few postings...

Happy Halloween!

It was one of the coldest Halloweens in decades. But just because you're bundled up doesn't make it any less fun. The season started, as usual with the decorating sugar cookies with some pretty thick colorful coats of frosting.  Pumpkins were carved. Johan made a MN Wild pumpkin for a local competition, but did not win. We thought it looked great though. 
The boys went trick-or-treating with their friends and mom and dad mostly operated the taxi service. It was a bittersweet bit of independence.  Now we just need to figure out how to make much of the candy disappear...
