Today we decided to visit the Wild Rumpus, we packed up and Olivia joined us for a good time. After the book store, we visited a local park where the kids had a great time.

I went trick or treating with Dorothy and Jack Sparrow tonight. Carolyn held down the fort and we joined some neighbors for a fun tour of the neighborhood. Buddy even was out this year (including at the office).

The kids and I went for another fall geocaching adventure this afternoon. I must say, the fall is my favorite time of year for this hobby.
We found three caches today, the kids are getting pretty good at finding them on their own.
The kids and I headed out to a local park to find four geocaches and were successful in finding all of them. It was beautiful walking through the woods with all of the colors. It was a nice walk and the last one was a bit challenging to find a path leading to it but we did get there thanks to the kids not wanting to give up 
We had a fun afternoon with family and friends at the parade. The kids walked away with bags of candy, pencils, and other items.

The final family weekend at the cabin for the season was a relaxing one. The weather was all over the map so we only had a little water time on Friday and had a great time sitting in the sun between showers on Sunday along with a fun visit to a corn maze
A nice time at the corn maze
Just warm enough for swimming

We had a couple quiet summer weekends at home with friends and family. We watched Twins and Vikings games on the deck with friends, had family over for a couple of meals, took a trip to the mall, stained the deck and play set, and attended a family reunion.
