Apple Orchard/Pumpkin Patch/Winery


Gavin with the wind in his hair!
One weekend that Patrick and his father, Jim were gone at the cabin, my mother-in-law, Sandy and I took the kids to Deardorf Apple Orchard. It was an absolutely wonderful fall day and we all had an equally wonderful time together!























Nana Sandy with Sophia and Gavin.

What a beautiful view!






Gavin picking an apple...he had soo much fun!

A perfect fall day.

The Hunting Cabin


Our family at the hunting cabin. It was our first trip as a family to the cabin in northern MN (I have been there multiple times over the years with my hubby). We all had a great time and it was so fun for the kids to see their father in his element!


Gav playing in the leaves.


The kids playing in the firepit while Daddy does some raking.



Cute Sophia.






Sweet little Gavin.









Gavin and his "stick"



Me and my babes....isn't that background just gorgeous!






Sophia and Millie running down the driveway.



Me and my baby boy.






Too funny! I just love those white birch trees!



On a short walk down the driveway.




Gavin and Sophia in the pack-n-play together. Too bad that didn't work for the sleeping arrangments:)



Daddy and his boy on the 4 wheeler....both the kids LOVED the 4 wheeler and we went on multiple rides! I just love this picture!






Daddy and his little girl.






Patrick and Sophia in front of the cabin.

In front of the cabin...











All tired out!~



Patrick and his fo-turtleneck! Haha!



The kids with Patrick all dressed up right before he leaves for the evening hunt. They both were so in awe of Patrick in all of his hunting garb and could not take their eyes off of him as he was getting dressed and adding on the layers. It was sooo cute!







Reading books and watching movies until Daddy comes back from the hunt.



Sophia trying to put chapstick on Gav. Silly Gav!




Now that is better!



We sure had a wonderful family trip up to the cabin and are looking forword for many years to come! Happy Hunting!
