Happy Birthday Ida!

We had a birthday weekend celebration, starting with dinner and ice cream with some family and friends on Ida's actual birthday. 
 
 Ida's birthday party had a "Tangled"/Repunzel theme.  We started by making Ida a Rapunzel braid to wear.
 
 Made some pretty crowns.


 Signature "royal" flags.
 
Kids and pizza,

 presents,
 

and of course cake and ice cream!

Fall Fun

 A quick trip to Appleton to run a 1/2 Marathon (it was COLD, but fun).
 
 Suzanne's first trip to Mickey-Lu's on the way home.  Great burger and diner atmosphere!
 
 We've spent some time at camp--enjoying the beautiful fall colors.
 
We climbed the "mountain" for a beautiful view of Marquette!
 
 Back to camp for some target practice.

 Getting ready for Halloween.  After making a mess, flinging pumpkin guts everywhere, Ida told Chad "this is what it's all about!"

 Halloween finally arrived, with our beautiful "Belle" and

Henrik's creative idea of being a window.  he was a fine window, complete with yellow dinosaur curtains and a view of a colorful fall tree outside the window.  Let's just say that almost everyone we saw that day commented that they had never seen a window costume before!
