Pumpkins!

This past weekend Luke and I met my parents and dropped the kids off on our way to Red Wing for the weekend. We went down there to celebrate Dan's birthday with friends. It was a great weekend! We stayed at the St. James Hotel, in a very nice room! Friday night we had a wine pairing dinner. Saturday we biked to a hike, had lunch, relaxed a bit (Luke and Dan biked another 20 miles) and then had a low key night "in" playing Celebrity! It was a riot and we all laughed a lot!

Sunday morning we got up, had some breakfast and met the kids to spend the rest of the day together. The kids had an awesome time at Nana and Papa's and they were super busy. They did it all....raked leaves, bought donuts, went to a pumpkin patch for 3 hours, went trick or treating at the grocery store in town and then trick or treating along the path in the afternoon. They ended the day going out to eat at the Kernel and they were all in bed early! :) I missed them a lot since I had been traveling a little for work lately, so it was fun to have Sunday together as a family! We played in the leaves, hung out and ended the day carving pumpkins! The kids were so excited to carve pumpkins--they both took their shirts off so they could help out (but they never got their hands dirty)! :) They did enjoy eating the pumpkin seeds though! 

The weather was gorgeous--it was warm and nice to be able to spend time outside in Red Wing!

 My parents sent me these pictures from their time at the pumpkin patch!

Bishop has really been into scary things this year! He loves Halloween!

Playing in the leaves together!

Excited to pull the top off!

Best Friends!

 Bishop has been obsessed with buying pumpkins this year--we got some at church, some at Apple Jack's and they got even more in Owatonna this weekend!
