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 had “bring your parent to lunch day” yesterday.

Thanks to my beautiful wife for getting us tickets to today’s Vikings game for our anniversary 🙂

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

Last weekend the kids and I spent some time with the Hollahan’s and some of their friends. The kids all got along great and had a great time together.

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.

Magic Johnson was a guest speaker at our leadership conference and ended with a Q&A. After a few very good questions, I simply asked, “Magic, can I get a picture with you?” and he had no problem with it. It received a good laugh by the crowd and started a trend with the folks that asked subsequent questions 🙂
We had a great time with friends and neighbors tonight. Carolyn did a great job setting up to host tonight’s event. Thanks to everyone for bringing some great eats and especially Jon for feeding everyone some wonderful steak! We even had a visit from McGruff the Crime Dog who was a hit with the kids.
We filled a good sized bucket for the food shelf which Carolyn will deliver soon!

Carolyn and I had a great time in Duluth with Dan and LeAnn this weekend while the kids were with Grandma and Grandpa. We had a nice time hanging out. We went to see some great sites including Goosebury Falls and Split Rock. Also, there were casual dinners, playing cards and bar trivia.
