1st Snow!

Today was the first big snowfall this year and I was eager to get out my shovel and help Dad clear the snow from the drive way. I even prefer to shovel over going sledding...guess I must be like my dad and like a clean drive way!

Happy Halloween!

This year was the first time I got to visit some of my favorite neighbors and officially go "trick-or-treating". Mom & Dad took me around on 4-wheelers so I didn't have to walk much...thank goodness because it was pretty cold out! Since Magic was still gone this week, Mom had to make a quick costume change since my original costume required his participation...so I went as a "Little Dragon" instead. My costume was nice and toasty warm.

Here's the video from my first official "trick-or-treat" experience at my neighbor's house, Pat & Amy!

Quick Trip To Duluth

Our family took a quick trip to Duluth this weekend. It was lots of fun chasing the sea gulls at the lift bridge, and I did get to see one ship, although it was anchored in the lake so it didn't come through the bridge. I also got to see my neighbor Shane, who goes to school in Duluth...he plays with me a lot in the summer so I've missed him since he had to go back to school. Mom & Dad also took me to my first SCSU football game...it was quite cold and I enjoyed watching the band more than the game! We ended the day by staying at a waterpark in Brainerd, as tomorrow morning I'll get to see the Johnson side of the family for my cousin Dylan's Confirmation in Little Falls. It has been a crazy weekend, but lots of fun.

Can I Have a Treat?

"Can I have a treat?" seems to be my favorite thing to say lately...guess that's what happens when Mom leaves her stash of Halloween candy in plain sight. It has been good practice for me as I prepare for my first trick-or-treat adventure this Halloween.

Magic Update

Here's a recent pict of my buddy Magic. As you can see, he's grown quite a bit over the last several months. Dad was trying to decide if he was going to take him hunting this fall, but decided to send him to training instead. He'll be gone for about 5 weeks :-( ...the trainer said he has one of the best bird noses he's seen, but he's a very high energy/intense dog (he said we got the Nascar version instead of the Pinto). So it will be quiet around the house without him, but I'm sure he'll be having lots of fun chasing all the birds!

Bridge Celebration

Today my hometown had a fun event celebrating 150 years of the historic bridge. There were tractors, fire trucks, horses and lots of good food to eat.

Fall Harvest Orchard

After a busy day yesterday @ the Mall of America, Mom & Dad weren't sure I would be able to handle the apple orchard today, but I had so much fun that I kept asking to go back to the farm. Here are a few of my favorite picts.
