We were sooooo exited! Heike and crew came for a visit! Heike, Alex and Steffi rolled into town just in time to greet the boys off the bus. Oddly they were quite shy at first but then became very excited to show them everything!
So we took them on a quick troll hunt and captured a few before it became too dark.
The favorite activity to do after school is art...the table is usually covered with fabulous creations! and Heike herself made some wonderful creations!
With such special guests in town, we just had to play hookie from school(and have chocolate for breakfast!) . So we took everyone to Blue Mounds State Park for a nature hike. We were hoping to have a little more fall colors but we were lucky that the sun was out and the wind had calmed down. The boys showed Heike et al their climbing ability....and I showed them my nervousness when the boy were really "rock climbing" I think some time at a rock wall with ropes will be in order when they are older...the boys are really good at it!
In spirit of all the rock climbing...Steffi decided to climb a tree! and the boys wanted to follow! So how do you get monkeys out of a tree??
Here we are on top of the tower at Blue Mounds....say cheese! With the sun out you would see miles around! Thanks Heike, Alex and Steffi for coming for a visit! We love having you and you are welcome any time! Safe journey on the rest of your holiday!
Earlier in the week we had a movie night. The boys settled in....quite comfortable... for them, not me!
Its that time of year for apples! and boy did we pick a bunch!. Got to love apple pies and apple sauce and apple cake and apple porkchops and and and..
Pat realized that it is becoming more difficult to lift the boys up to get the ones on top! this will likely be the last year....we will have to settle on the apples lower on the branches.
Holy cannoli! It is October already!
