Today we celebrated Amber's 3rd Birthday. It's hard to believe she is that old already.... precious time goes too fast. Not unlike any other family get together at Jon and April's the house was a zoo of people. So many little kids, we've barely learned who all of April's siblings are, let alone all of their kids. It was Amber's golden birthday, being the creative aunt and uncle we are, we could not think of anything special... but a Dora Explorer camera seemed to take care of that. Not only can Amber tell you thank you, but she can sign it and she is working on her spanish. Which is good since the bi-lingual camera we bought her only says Spanish phrases...
As always we left there exhausted. We tried to make the best of fall by stopping at an apple orchard and taking a walk along the Mississippi in search of fall colors, but it is hard to do when it's 90 degrees out on Oct 5th! The night brought a Wild game, with the biggest decision being by Matt "should I wear shorts? I mean I've never worn shorts to a Hockey game before" (and some say women have a hard time getting dressed) The game was very good and a lot of fun. We had 18th row tickets off the ice and on a corner. I've learned hockey is much better from there...
