Halloweekend

PWe had a great weekend: watched the U of M game, carved pumpkins, visited the zoo, and trick-or-treated with neighborhood friends! 

Chicago Saturday

Lala and I planned a special Saturday for Meredith in Chicago - a trip to the American Girl store on Michigan Ave. Mer loved the train ride and exploring the store. We had a nice lunch during our visit and capped the day off with a walk at Oak St. Beach. If you can't tell from the pictures, Mer loved it!

Pumpkin fest

The weather wasn't great last weekend, but we made the most of it, with a visit to Flowerland to have fun at Pumpkinfest. They had pumpkin decorating, miniature golf, pumpkin bowling, donuts and cider. 

We then burned off some energy at a nearby park. The kids had fun.

Mer's 8!

Mer had a great birthday - 8 years old! We appreciated all of the cards, phone calls, and gifts. Mer really enjoyed opening gifts with her cousins  and enjoying cake and ice cream.
