Fall

We had a fun fall but boy did it fly by. The kids are loving high school and middle school and it's been quite the adjustment for both! The Ultimate frisbee season wrapped up and both kids had great seasons. Marlo came out of her shell without her brother on the team and Kasper was dunked into the big pond as a little fish and I think learned a lot. 

 

We did some fall things. 

   

Trick or treating! We lucked out with a mild Halloween (it drizzled but that's better than freezing). Marlo and her bestie were Taylor and Travis. Kasper went to a Hallowwen party instead of trick or treating but he did wear a costume. 

 

Hope everyone had a great fall!

When your kids get older, they kind of do their own thing and you aren't really involved as much. Hence the lack of photos I've taken in the last 2 months. 

Kasper went up into the Boundary Waters with a school group. They had a ton of fun of course. 

 

 The kids wore matching shirts to dinner one night which was silly. They didn't love it. 

   

 We got to spend some time with Great Grandma who is now officially the shorter than the kids. 

   

And then we started a new school year! Middle school and high school. It's been a big adjustment for both kids. I think Kapser is having an easier transition but soon it'll be the new normal. 

   

 Ultimate frisbee started this week! The kids are on differnet teams now but both had very successful first games. Boy time flies! 

 Hope everyone had a great summer!

CATS

At the end of June, Marlo performed in the elementary school production of CATS! It was kind of a trip but it was fun.

And some pro shots

 

Marlo looked like she was in physical pain up there but I'm so proud of here for doing it! 

Preserve

For the last couple years, we head up near St. Cloud to a big disc golf tournament held there every year! Most of the pros show up to play and it's just a fun atmosphere. This year it wasn't so blazing hot and we were able to meet so many of the mens and women players! 

 

They had a 5 story rubber duck this year. 

   

And Rob got to do a small bit of chatting with his favorite player. 

   

Simon is one of the most popular players because of his You Tube channel. Check out minute 31:45.

Spoiler alert, the kids made it into his video! 

Another successful Preserve tournament! 

Last Day!

Oops! I got behind again! I have a couple things to share from the beginning of summer but before all that, let's celebrate the end of elementary school for Marlo and middle school for Kasper! I think this was maybe the first time they've worn pants on the last day of school but the weather has been weird! 

Kasper spent the last day at Valleyfair but Marlo had a little graduation! 

    

We have loved Clear Springs and are going to miss it! On to middle and high school!
