Long time no post


I have been seriously slacking on the blogging lately. My plan was to post some pics from the trip back home but I have been having trouble getting them to upload. Hopefully that will get sorted out this weekend.

September was a blur. We spent 10 days back in MN (and WI!). It was a fabulous vacation. My parents rented a beautiful home called the Lady Slipper Lodge in northern MN.  We had so much fun that we've already booked it for next fall! We spent 5 days relaxing, drinking, eating and fishing! The leaves were beginning to fall and it was absolutely beautiful.  I got to celebrate my birthday with all of my friends and family. You can't ask for anything better than that!

We spent exactly one day back in Bloomington before it was off to Appleton, Wisconsin for a weekend of child free debauchery. It was Thomas, myself and four of my best girls (husbands too!). We spent a day on the Richter boat, enjoyed Anthony's amazing food fest and the next day headed for the Appleton Oktoberfest. I am pretty sure that WI Oktoberfest's rival the MN State Fair in people watching.  

We are finally back in Colorado and I've spent the last 10 days drying out and detoxing my liver. Last weekend we hit up the Castle Rock Oktoberfest, which was much tamer than Appleton's as it was geared towards families with small children. Declan dug the polka band and danced his little booty off.  

I am so happy it is finally fall. I am loving this cool weather. However, I hear snow is in the forecast for this weekend which is not what I was looking forward to.

Check back. Hopefully I'll have those pics up soon!
