Minnehaha Falls

Ever since we moved here in 2010 people have told us that we needed to check out Minnehaha Falls and Sea Salt Eatery.  Once again, we missed out opportunity to eat at the Sea Salt Eatery as it is only open April - Oct.  Thank goodness Minnehaha falls was open, although cold this date, for us to explore.

 

 

Goose's favorite part was the playground, of course!

 



Bubbie wanted to explore a little as well.

 

Focus...

 ...and agility!

fun times all around!

Saturday Sledding Adventure

Today we headed to the local elementary school to go sledding and boy does a year make a difference!  Last year, it took quite a bit of coaching to get JV to go down the hill by himself and as you will see below, he's turned into quite the little dare devil.

 

 

 

Even 'Bubbie' came out for the adventure.  Well for a little while anyway.

 

And now it begins...

 He's looking good



 

Until the crash that is!

 

Before we left for the day we had a quick photo session.

Our first family picture!

A Day at Minnetonka Orchards

JV's preschool class is taking a fieldtrip to the apple orchard this week and since he will be taking a trip to NC he can't join his friends on the fieldtrip.  Needless to say, he wasn't too happy about that so we decided to take him as a family.  Unfortunately, the apples had been picked over but we made the best of it anyway.

 

 

The tractor/train ride was the hit of the day. 

 

A wooden train to play in.  Kinda reminds me of The Box Car Children books.



 

Next up, Apple donuts of course! 

As you can see, he was quite interested in the tire swing.

 I love this picture!

 Little Boy Blue...

The day wouldn't be complete without checking out the pumkins.

Ok, one more picture before we REALLY leave for the day.
