On Labor Day, we went to the State Fair, an end of summer tradition for our family. The kids had a blast in the funhouses, playing games, and going down the giant slide. And this year, they went on the Tilt-a-Whirl for the first time by themselves. As usual we ate too much food, including our favorites like Nitro icecream, cheese curds, and corn on the cob. One of this year's highlight was watching the Lumberjack contests.
Tuesday, September 9th was Canyon's first day of school as a 2nd grader. He is getting so mature. He chose his special breakfast of Eggs Maxie and we took our annual picture by the tree in our front lawn.
Wednesday was Presley's very first day of school as a Kindergartner. I asked her if she was nervous and she said "I am excited and happy!" She was so brave as she got on the bus and Canyon was a great big brother, sitting with her on the bus and walking her to her classroom everyday for a week.
At the end of this week, Trisha and her team from work went sailing on Lake Minnetonka. Another beautiful day and a fun way to get out of the office.
Presley and Canyon are also very busy in Fall Soccer. Here's a picture from "picture day". Dad is the head coach again this season but he was out of town and missed the team picture. He was very sad to miss it.
