Fall 2008

Fall 2008 has come and gone. It is currently snowing, snowing, snowing. We are due to get 6-10 inches over night and we already have about 4 on the ground. All the students (and the teachers) are praying for a snow day. Sorry it's been a while... enjoy.

This was at the orthopedic fall festival.  It was great for kids and for those who still think they're kids. :)

The Hartzlers sporting their Longhorn pride.

This was in the corn maze. A real live corn maze! It was super fun.

The fall colors were extra pretty this year.

The "mini" pumpkin patch.

There were a lot of different looking pumpkins to choose from. Rob and Sari liked the green ones.

The pumkins look like they have mold on them in the picture, but they were pretty cool close up.

The next day we went on a tour of southern MN to enjoy the fall colors.

This is in Lake City on the pier.

Then we hit the Apple Ridge Orchard to pick our own apples. The honeycrisp apples were the best. I even ate them!!

The hayride to the orchard.

More fall colors.

She found one she liked. :)

I'm not quite as adventurous.

Rob found a couple he liked.

Sari has had a lot of practice.

All the girls. From left to right: Sari, Emily, me, Rebecca, and Melissa.

Emily was a little bored waiting for the tractor to pick us up.

Sari being a goof.

The following weekend Louie, Sari and I went camping. It was fun with all the dogs (5 of them). A few people came out just for dinner.

Sari made fun of Louie's ability to start a fire. The girls went for a walk and we came back we found...

Louie decided to burn all the logs and make a gigantic fire. He is such a stud sometimes. :)

At breakfast the next morning.
