Fall

We've been having some fun this season visiting apple orchards and pumpkin patches, jumping in huge leaf piles and trick or treating in the rain.

Hot chocolate!

Quarry Quest

The boys had tons of fun at this years Quarry Quest event in Neenah this weekend. Max rode in a loader, dump truck and an excavator while Sam had fun building a brick wall, a road and taking control of an excavator.

They dug for (fools) gold and gems and had fun doing some of the other activities at the event. We all agree that our favorite thing to do was the Jeep obstacle course where a driver takes us around a course of steep hills, camel hills, crazy bumpy road and a steep corner that makes you feel like the truck is going to tip over.

Sam's First Day of School - 1st Grade!

Sam started 1st grade on Sept. 3rd and has been having lots of fun with his new teacher and classmates.

Camping at High Cliff State Park

Last weekend we packed up the family and camped at High Cliff State Park on Lake Winnebago. Our friends, the Baiers, joined us. All the kids had fun playing together, hiking around the campground, swimming at the lake and eating s'mores. We also took a trip to Mulberry Lane Farm where the kids got to chase chickens and get up close with many other farm animals.

Packers Training Camp

We recently took a trip to Green Bay to watch the Packers...uh...practice. But we did more than that. We watched the players ride in on kids bikes to the practice field, the boys received many high-fives from the players. We caught glimpses of the players practicing on the field and we wandered around collecting the various freebies that vendors were handing out. The boys finished the trip by running around the "Packers Experience" with all the inflatable play areas to climb on. We also wandered around parts of the stadium that were accessible to us and the pro shop before heading home.

High Fives!
