Happy Halloween!

up to preschool and he looked so little next to all of his new classmates!

North Shore Scenic Railroad

Tod went on a golf trip with some buddies for the weekend so I wanted to do something fun with Milo. I have been missing Duluth lately, so I decided we'd take a trip up there for the day. We met up with my parents and took a ride on the North Shore Scenic Railroad. Afterwards we headed to Canal Park for lunch and just as we were getting there, a huge ship was going under the Aerial Lift Bridge and through the canal. Perfect timing and so cool to see!

This is cool!

Remember this game? It was one of my favorites as a kid. Bought it this week and broke it out this morning. Milo loves it!

Trip to Montana

Last weekend we took a family trip to visit the Larkins in Whitefish, Montana. This was Milo's first airplane ride as a toddler (he went on 3 airplanes total!), and he just loved it! While Tod and Scott played in a golf tournament on Friday, Stef, Tyler, Milo and I explored the playgrounds of Whitefish and had a great lunch. Milo also got to meet Annemarie and Kelly Peppmeier. After some frustration that Tyler couldn't talk to him, Milo asked Annemarie, "hey girl...do you talk?" So funny!

Saturday we took the gondola up to the top of Big Mountain for some stunning views of the valley and of Glacier National Park in the distance. Milo and Tod also went down the alpine slide--fun! Tyler's Grandpa Doug and Grandma Christine were nice enough to watch the boys Saturday night so we could enjoy an adults-only dinner. It was yummy and so much fun! Thanks again to Stef and Scott for a great weekend! Let's do it again soon!

Froggie backpack packed and ready to go!
