Summer is officially over! We are done visiting the Lake Osakis area until next summer...on our last trip over labor day weekend Isabelle got to spend some more time in the boat with Pappa and caught more really nice sunfish. The cabin was a lot of fun this year and I look forward to doing more fishing up there next year.
Fall means that we have lots of food to harvest in our backyard. So far this year we have canned pickles, salsa, pears and plums. We have frozen apples and beans and have lots of fresh apples and pears to eat. This weekend we picked our first pumpkins. We got a few really big ones and Isabelle is exctited to carve them up for Halloween. I hope they last that long.
Isabelle got a fish last weekend! She has been waiting pretty patiently to get another pet. We went to Petco and she picked out a pink Beta that she later named Pinky. She spends quite a bit of time just sitting on a stool looking at him (yes its a boy named Pinky).
Isabelle really likes spending time with her new cousin Natalie!
Isabelle also started gymnastics a couple weeks ago. So far she seems to really enjoy it.
The last fishing trip of the year...When we brought the boat home from the cabin we left it in the driveway for a couple days until I could get it cleaned out. Isabelle liked to sit in the boat and pretend fish. This summer was a blast and provided a lot of memories. My favorite memory might be watching Isabelle fall in love with fishing, it started with dock fishing and then out in the boat, she really seems to enjoy it and that makes her Dad pretty happy!
