Alex sings and swings!

"Close(or lose)your eyes everybody have a good time"..is what he sings!

A couple more pictures from the orchard

Soaking up the last ounce of Summer!

We had family pictures taken Saturday.  I asked Evan to take our picture as we were heading back to the car.  Alex decided to take a selfie with Eric and I in the background.  He's too funny!  Evan managed to hold onto his front teeth which could fall out any day! Can't wait to see how the pictures turned out!
It was in the 80's and beautiful!  This will likely be our last weekend boating without canvas and shorts!
Sunday morning the kids even got into the water!
This might be our last weekend with Donald at the island until next Spring!

Fun at Minnetonka Orchards!

Friday night we went to Minnetonka Orchards.  It was different going during the evening because there weren't many people there and they didn't have food to eat. 

The tree sagged so the tire swing is dragging on the ground.  I had to spin it for the boys to be off the ground and then they had fun spinning. 



Fun on the hayride!

Gorgeous night for a hayride!


The boys are getting so tall!

Evan took this one!  At least both our heads are in the picture:-)
Moving around some pumpkins!

Loving the light.  They used to struggle to get between the train cars and now look at them!

Benihana and James J. Hill Days

After school!

More pics from my Birthday dinner at Benihana...so DELICIOUS!

These darling hats double as kids menus!

So much fun watching them cook at your table!


They give you a picture to take home!


We got a nice parking spot right next to the Minnehaha!


They had some boat races going on, so the Minnehaha had to be careful backing up!



We took our annual trip on the Minnehaha during James J. Hill Days


Beautiful views from the Minnehaha!


Time for the parade!  It was a beautiful HOT day for it!

We got a nice spot on the curb!

Seeing the firetrucks are one of the best parts of the parade.  They like the bands too!

Another pic of me post half marathon!  I finished 59th out of 75 people and 32nd of 43 women!
Alex on the Minnehaha!
