Keeping Busy in October - Week of 10/19

With Mom on an intentional sabbatical, we are making sure to prioritize time with friends and family and making the most of our free time. This month, Mom and Dad headed to Xcel on a Sunday night to catch Pearl Jam. This was Mom's first Pearl Jam show. Amazing, amazing, show that went for 3.5 hours!! We had great seats right behind the stage.



The kids didn't have school on Friday because of school conferences. Mom, Canyon, and Presley enjoyed an adventure downtown. We finally converted much of our foreign currency at the downtown bank. And then we treated ourselves to some downtown fun, including exploration of the skyways, a great breakfast and famous caramel rolls at Keys, and a trip to the top of the Foshay Tower & Museum. Days off are now actually fun for Mom!



On Friday night, Ron and Trisha hosted a parent party for Presley's new 10UA Hockey team. It was a fun night getting to know the other parents. We enjoyed games, great conversation, and a bonfire! Looking forward to a fun season!



On Saturday night, the Pergandes headed to Valley Scare, the local amusement park that converts itself into a giant haunted house for the Halloween season. Canyon bolted to be with his friends. But Presley and two of her friends explored the park with Mom and Dad. We enjoyed rollercoasters, jaunts through the graveyard, and some new hats!
