Wisconsin

Ryan and I, along with Donna and Lynn are in Prairie Du Chien, WI visiting Ben's great aunt for a few days. She has a quaint little place on the Mississippi River. Ry has been doing some fishing. He caught 5 fish today. We have gone on a couple boat rides, made s'mores, went to an apple orchard and enjoyed the great outdoors.

Last year we were up here this same weekend and the fall colors were beautiful. This year the colors are not as impressive. We are little early. It doesn't really even seem like fall this weekend since the temp was 85 degrees today.

I really love it here. I look forward to coming back every year. My favorite season is autumn and there is no other better place to enjoy it then here! Ben doesn't get to come up here with us since autumn also means harvest time. I wish he was able to enjoy this with us. Ryan misses him too. I think Ry has called him 4 times to share his exciting moments (like wanting a sandbox at home after playing in one at the apple orchard and telling dad that he caught a fish all by himself).

According to Ryan: This is Grandma's Halloween Costume

Tomorrow we are going to some more apple orchards and going to get some cheese and squash before heading to Washington for the rest of the weekend.
