Nap

Apple

Audrey insisted on holding the apples in the car on the way home from the store. When we got home, I discovered she had helped herself to one. Her first apple! Later, I found it stashed in a clean bowl in the cupboard.

Zoo. Again!

Audrey got to go to the zoo again. This time we went with Grandma and Grandpa and Auntie Alexis. It was a beautiful day.

Flooding. Again.

The Minnesota River flooded this spring (see here) because of all the snow we had last winter. This fall we've had a ton of rain and it's flooded again. They closed the bridge downtown again so we went to check it out. Audrey was really excited about all the "waa waa" (water) and loved running all over the closed roads.

Apples

While the guys were busy building DJ and Julie's deck, we girls decided to take the kids to Deardorff Orchards in Waconia. I can't believe I've never been there before. It was so cute and they had lots of great little places set up for pictures. The kids had lots of fun picking their own apples and running around.

Zoo

Sarah and I crammed all three kids into the car for a trip to the zoo this morning. Carpooling becomes more challenging with kids and car seats, but it's possible! Audrey and Greta had a great time running around checking out the animals. Bennett seemed to enjoy himself as well, even taking a little snooze. Audrey especially enjoyed the "shushies" (fish) and the "ee ees" (monkeys).
