October weeks

1. Went to Osborne heritage days.  Fry bread tacos and homemade rootbeer.  We meet the new bear cub too.  Link is studying native Americans and Osborne had a teepee and buffalo stew and arrowheads and much more.




2. Our first Harvest Festival in Elkader went well.

Felix won first place in his age group.  I actually was a little embarrassed because there were pumpkins done by little kids who actually knew what they were doing, but I didn't know who the judges were so I couldn't do anything about it.  Free pizza.

3. One busy Sunday we picked up Norwegian dinner to go.
Took the family and a 4h group to see Curious George the musical in Dubuque.
Then Bryce immediately left for Madison to see John Hodgman.

4. We were invited to the mfl mar Mac Halloween bash (which was crazy for this claustraphobic lady).  Since our intended Halloween costumes were not finished we dug out a lungi costume for Link.  He loved it and ran around like lungi, stopping to jump while kicking his leg out and saying "doink". We had a dragon costume and I added some red eyebrows and hair and a black collar and writ cuffs to be kuppa.  Then they were from the same game, no matter how abstract.

5 .  Bryce and Felix and I went to Minneapolis for a 4h convention.  Loved the convention.  Dent love Felix vomiting on me for the first 12 hours of it.  Link stayed at my parents.  We had a great view of th city and ate at some great places in Nicolette.  I especially loved the French bakery where Bryce and I had crepes for lunch and macaroons for dessert.  Here is a great front back Bryce took from our room.
The staff was above and beyond friendly and all the sessions were stellar.  It was one of my first times in a hotel where I never watched TV.
