Arboretum

A recent trip to the Arboretum on 'buy one get one free admission day' meant one and one half hours of walking, taking, and photo taking.

 

 

 

 

We also went through the maze, which was scary at first but we made it through safe and sound!

Split Rock

We biked from Gooseberry State Park to Split Rock on the Gitchi Gami trail, and though my legs may have survived the hilly path, I did have a few 'saddle sores'

 

Mama and Baby deer on the path!

 

 

This hill was nice on the way down... but on the way up?!?!?!

 

Gooseberry Falls 9/15 - 9/18

In no particular order.... our recent, relaxing, calm, quite, outdoors, star filled, bike riding, rock climbing, wonderful trip to Gooseberry State Park.

....more to come!!!

Upcoming Adventure

Its fairly uncommon of me to not post for two weeks, but nothing exciting to report! This week, actually tomorrow, we will be heading to Gooseberry Falls on a mini-vacation and some much needed relaxation. We have not camped since our road trip last summer, and I for one have missed it. Another rare occurrence for me -- blogging without photos. Mark this one down on the calendar!

I will have plenty to share when we return!

Hen and Ken hit the State Fair with Peg and Greg!

There may be a few items not pictured here, but its highly unlikely. I believe we ate EVERYTHING.
Rueben on a stick.
Cautiously waiting in line for Teriyaki Ostrich. They don't serve that in Iowa!
Yumm... Ostrich.
We all need our veggies!
Seriously Henry? Deep Fried Mixed Fruit?
Peach Glazed Pig Cheeks and Pig Lickers.
Close up of the Pig Lickers
Deep Fried Snickers.
Um, Hi, girls? You just sat your butt on my shoulder. Stop messin around!
Summit on a Stick!
Henry, we just ate deep fried candy bars, are you SURE you want the Deep Fried Twinkie?
Ya, I got my Twink on!
Hot dish on a stick? Deep Fried Banana Split? Yes, we had both.
"Its really good with the cream of mushroom dipping sauce!"
Banana, wrapped in lefse, fried, then served with the regular split works.

Lets just say that my arteries felt a bit clogged today, but I did have FUN!

2 years

Its been two whole years now...

Two years since we were married.  One year since I started this blog. A lot has happened in one short year. 

This year we went to the Melting Pot to celebrate. I had an amazing Caprese Salad. YUM.
I took pictures of the meet and bread and such, but what I really liked were these little spoon for the sauces! They were cute!

Our desert was delicious, but I was so full by this point it almost hurt to eat it.

A few more things that have been celebrated....

Our niece Aleah turned one! She is so adorable :)

And I helped my friend Kristie celebrate her birthday at Chino Latino. 

Happy Birthday Girl!
