Saint Paul MN - The Squirrel Game while you walk

 


I introduced Carter and Colton to my walking game - the squirrel game.  As I wander I see if I see four different squirrels - a grey, black, brown  and white.  If you hit all four it is a "grand slam".  

Everyday is a 2 squirrel walk for sure.  Browns are a bit harder in my neighborhood but findable some days - so then you get a triple.  Fortunately, every year we have a few albino whites that are around and we lucked out today - certainly wowed and surprised the Monty Boys when we did.

Wow - 5000 hand carved pumpkins by local artists on full display and all lit up.  Great night wandering through the Minnesota Zoo.

Carter and Colton came to town for the JackOLantern Spectacular.  Started out with dinner - a couple of grumpy guys.

Saint Paul MN - Marathon Sunday

 















The marathon got a lot more interesting once again as John Sandor took it on and we hung out at the party on Summit to cheer him on over the last couple miles.   

We had a young squirrel that was happy to hang with us as long as he could enjoy the fire.  And as the day went on the bagpipe player showed up across the street to cheer on the runners.

Beardsley MN, Prior MN, Ortonville MN and Appleton MN - Our "Meandor" along the Minnesota River

 












Once we were back on the Minnesota side and had taken in the Divide we started heading down river to all of our planned stops.   

Finished back in Clarkfield and caught Byron and team hard at the harvest.
