Autumn

Seems a little bit like Autumn around here lately.  And that's okay by me because it's my favorite season.  Love the Minnesota weather these days...okay, well, usually.  But with the changing of the season and all the fun that comes with it I'm also reminded that the clothes in our closets need to be switched out for colder weather clothes.  Undoubtedly my boys have grown since last fall which means making sure there are size appropriate clothing in their drawers! And even more so, making sure everyone has winter coats, hats, boots, mittens, etc.  A daunting task for sure.  Remind me why we live in the North?

Anyway, one of the fine fall adventures we had today was at Quarry Hill Nature Center and their Fall Festival.  This was the first time we've gone to it and didn't realize it was such a big deal.  I'm pretty sure all of Rochester and the surrounding communities were there today.  It was packed.  But the weather was too nice to pass up the opportunity to be outside.

They had food, games and activities, live music, cave tours, rock climbing, canoeing, face painting and so much more!  Here is some of the fun we had today:

Having a snack while dad and Easton check out the caves

 Painting his turtle

 Rolling a candle from beeswax!

 It's hard work....look at that tongue!

 He's awfully proud of his candle!

 He made his own button!

 And of course, cookie decorating :)

 Coloring pumpkins!

 A masterpiece for sure!

We have so many more adventures on our Fall to-do list so stay tuned!!
