August & September

Lots of catching up to do!  So here are all the pictures jumbled up together. The kids at Big Cedar. They love the lazy river.

Gus and Grandpa modeling their glasses.

Uncle Tommy & Aunt Jena were in town over Labor Day.  There was a big cycling race in Benton Park. They are waiting patiently for it to start.

So are they.

Quick trip to Arrowrock.  

Off to Bloomington

https://youtu.be/RF8JfveuRss  Olivia was off school for 2 days so it was the perfect opportunity to take a few of the grandkids to Bloomington, Il and visit Marie Beckmann Hatelids ranch.  She had horses, chickens, a new riding arena and 2 dogs.  For some reason  I don't have any pictures of her place.  We visited Destil Brewery and had lunch.  And then we went to Rader Farms.  It's a pumpkin patch. Lots of fun was had by all.  We were able to avoid the rain and play and have apple cider donuts and apple cider slushies.

The  next day we drove in town to the Childrens Discovery Museum.  It was 3 floors of fun.
