Back to School

Our little babies are growing up so fast. Canyon is starting 4th grade at the upper campus of Eagle Heights while Presley is now one of the older students as a 2nd grader on the lower campus. School is off to a great start and fall sports have begun. Canyon broke us down and has started football for the first time. And Presley is enjoying fall soccer on Team USA with Coach Ron.

Gray Family Visit

Our good pals, the Grays, came for an end of summer visit to Minnesota. We were thrilled that they came and enjoyed showing them around our "hometown". Ron and Eric enjoyed nice late nights playing the guitar while Audrey and Trish enjoyed their power walks on the trails of Eden Prairie. We enjoyed several days of Minnesota fun.

Our our first full day together, we enjoyed fishing at Lake Calhoun (in the no fishing zone), fresh fish from Tin Fish, and boating on Lake Minnetonka.





On our second day, we enjoyed gluten free pizzas at Pizza Luce, time in the Walker Art Sculpture Garden, and bonfires at Casa Pergande.




And no visit would be complete to Minnesota without a trip to the State Fair. We enjoyed fair favorites like the Giant Slide, Martha's Cookies, Cheese Curds, and Fresh Tiny Donuts. We also enjoyed fun rides and great music. And this year Presley surprised us by getting a very cool crazy hair with Eden Prairie spirt colors.



Come again soon Gray family!

Summer Drive In With the Kids

After many years of wanting to go but never making it, we finally made it to a drive-in. It was just like when we grew up with the concession stand, the play area up front, and the speakers for your car. We went with Ron's MBA pals and enjoyed a nice night watching movies. Unfortunately, both movies were PG-13 and the kids were able to recite every scene from the movie. We won't be taking them to another PG-13 movie until they are 13.
