Fall berries & ski lifts
One of the many things we like to do in the fall is to pick raspberries. Not too far from our house is a nice big raspberry farm where you can go and pick all of your own berries. I took the girls the other night and they loved it (just look at the mess on their faces). Addison ate every single berry she picked, and Jayda ate about half of what she picked. It was a fun time for them and we still ended up with a lot of raspberries.
Having fun picking, before she realized they tasted so good and then she just kept eating them.
Sometimes it is nice to be small and close to the ground!
We still got a lot to take home...
Another fun event we did was visit a local "ski resort" in Minneapolis (it doubles as a golf driving range in the summer). It is only about 25 minutes south of downtown, and is the highest point in the county. The ski resort opened up one lift from 5-9pm for you to ride up, enjoy some fun events like a fire pit, food, band, live animals, etc... at the top, and then you can walk down the lantern lit grassy ski slope to the bottom.
It was fun and the girls enjoy the short ride on the ski lift.

At the top of the resort just before it got dark. Notice the extremely high elevation! :)

Wow, I bet Todd can't wait to go skiing this winter. Those runs look just as difficult as ones at, say, Deer Valley or Alta. (wink) I am envious of the fall raspberries. I haven't found any out here yet. And you are so photogenic in your pictures. I love to see your beautiful face! Jayda's hair is getting long, too!
ditto to amydear's comment. the girls look much older. they're getting so big.
how fun!! your girls are so cute!! I can't believe how big they are getting!!
Definately jealous of picking raspberries!!! We also haven't found any upick farms here. Let us know how the golf range is, since I'm sure you'll be using it more for golfing than skiing!
