That Fall Feeling

There is so much to love about fall which is exactly why it's our favorite time of the year. There's just something about going to a zoo and being comfortable with the temperature. Not too hot, not to cold. This year we went up to the Minoqua Zoo. It's very different than the Milwaukee Zoo or Brookfield Zoo in IL, but it was still great for the girls. Lots of free roaming animals including a deer sanctuary where you can get up close and personal with them.  The highlight of the day though were the giraffe's.

Then of course there is that small little event we enjoy celebrating every year. For our anniversary we spent the day together at Sundara Spa in Wisconsin Dells. It was such a great and relaxing day. We even got to meet up briefly with our old neighbors from Illinois. Their annual girls trip ended up being the same weekend! It was back them to Plover to relieve Uncle Tim and Aunt Sarah of the insanity they lived all day watching all four kids. A bonfire and some booze fixes everything!

It's tradition to pull out our toasting glasses every year, champagne or not. This year we thought Sloane would think it was fun to have her own glass. So we all shared some sparkling juice instead of champagne. We also keep the party rolling and added in a fun night out at a local foodie event. 

What would fall be though without some apple picking. There was an unseasonably cold (of maybe just cold for this year) morning. Hence the hats and jackets. After an hour or so it was warm enough we all had our jackets off. This was Blair's first time and she loved picking up the apple off the ground. 

Sloane preferred the "in the tree" approach. 

As if there wasn't enough fun Chris and I hit up a packer game and went to Nashville! Chris for business and me for pleasure, and Oh what fun I had! Amazing entertainment, relish food and lots of fun to site see and tour. 

Then of course there are falling leafs and painting pumpkins. So much always going on in fall just before the holidays, where the madness doesn't stop! Bring on the turkey!
