Let's Go Wild!

We took a Saturday recently and headed to Minneapolis for an action-packed day. We started with the Rainforest Cafe (too terrifying to photograph), squeezed in a few rides at Nick Universe and finished up with the grand finale -- a Minnesota Wild game at Xcel Center. Jack was a trooper through it all, and as shown above, ended with a crash landing into a comfy hotel bed. Oh yeah, the Wild won the game, and Jack added another friend to his bear family courtesy of Miss Amanda.

Verse Two

As promised, here's the long-awaited sequel to the Pumpkin song. Wait for it, wait for it...the Mommy verse.

Pumpkin Song

One of Jack's favorite songs is "the name game" and he can adapt it to pretty much everything, including his favorite fall gourd. Stay tuned for more verses including "ceiling, fan, door, light," and pretty much anything else he can think of. The song can go on for hours.

Howell's Pumpkin Patch

Jack and I headed to Howell's Pumpkin Patch with our neighbors for a little taste of fall (it was 78 degrees). He and his buddies Alex and Sam hunted for pumpkins, fuzzy caterpillars and tractors.
