End of Summer...

This year, our mom and dad took us to the Great Minnesota Get-Together!

We've never been before...and it was AWESOME!

We kept telling mom and dad about all of the foods we just NEEDED to try...hot dogs on a stick, malts, mini-donuts, cotton candy, cookies....we ate our way though!

For never having been there, mom and dad were surprised about all of the foods we just knew we needed to try.

Brynnie went on the "red boat ride" (Ye Old Mill) with mommy and she loved it! She pretended she was "Brynnie the Adventurer" trying to find her way out of the deep dark cave. Her tiny friends, the gnomes helped her find her way.

We all went on the bumper boats, and rode tractors.

We got all kinds of free hats and bags...got to pet horses and pigs...

Literally.... next to Christmas and our birthday party....it was the BEST DAY EVER!

Next year can't come soon enough.
We're 3 little carnies!

The sad thing about State Fair time is that it means the end of summer. Mommy told us that it is going to get really cold. As soon as we heard that, we ran over to tell Alex and Ariel that it is going to snow.
Mom said it will snow in a WHILE....not today. I guess we have to wait.
Snow sounds kinda fun to us!

We spent Labor Day weekend at Sugar Lake and guess what we caught:

A monarch butterfly!

We brought her home with us.

We were all too scared to hold her, but Ariel is in 1st grade, so she wasn't scared.

We brought our monarch home to live in our neighborhood.

We let her go.

Hopefully she finds a nice tree-home by our house.

Then, we could have 2 pets...Reese and Monarch.

We've been having a little trouble going to sleep lately.

Last night Maryn was scared.

She told mommy and daddy that she was too scared to sleep, but they didn't sympathize.

Thank God for sisters!
