Lanie and I went to the 7th Grade overnight trip to Y-Camp this month. It was an awesome time, even though it was rainy and chilly for about half the time. The leaders were awesome and taught the kids about soil layers, animal tracking, how to build shelter in the woods, and how to build a fire multiple ways. We slept in one of the cabins. It was much updated from when I went to camp there. . . not really roughin' it anymore:)
October family date - Rollerskating at Spinning Wheels in Ogden, Iowa. Great place! Great music, not busy, and family friendly.
Lanie had a Girl Scout overnight at Christy Hall. Two Junior troops came together to learn about constellations, cook dinner and breakfast, play games, and go on a night hike.
Mindy, Scott, Matthew and I did a bike ride that started at Reclaimed Rails Brewery in Bondurant and then went to Mingo to turn around and come back. It was a brisk day but the sun was shining, beer tasted great and it felt good to use our bodies. Definitely need to do more bike rides, organized or not now that Matthew has Sundays off.
We love our new addition to the family Frisbee. Unfortunately about a week prior we had to give Rascal back to the animal shelter after he bit (attacked) Carter one night. He drew blood on Carter's hands and left bad bruises on his stomach. We were all really upset but it had to be done. Kaleigh also moved home this month.
Frisbee was a couple months old when we got her. She was a stray and was brought to the Ames Animal Shelter with a broken jaw and pretty messed up. They fixed her up and we love her very much. She's very cuddly and purrs when you hold her. It took a couple days, but eventually Thea warmed up too and now they are the best of friends.
Carter's Freshman Football team wrapped up their season undefeated 9 - 0. Carter was able to play quite a bit in the last game. He even played Center which he hadn't played in a couple years. We are so excited to see this team next year.
