October 2022 Happenings

Carter was so excited to see his good friend Nolan, back from the military for the first time since he left for basic.  They spent as much time together as they could for the week before he left again.  I'm so thankful for the friendship these boys have.

The whole family got together to celebrate Mom's 70th birthday at Hickory Park Restaurant.  Afterwards, Mom and I  went to see the musical "Anastasia" at CY Stephens.   It was part of our season and package and was SO good!  I'd never watched the movie before and learned so much about Russian history.

Lanie and I went to ISU Family weekend and got a tour of campus from Carter.  We stopped at the creamery to enjoy some yummy ice cream.  

Lanie and Taylyn bridged for the last time from Seniors to Ambassadors.  We had the ceremony at Harrington park shelter and invited some close friends and family for snacks.   We are very blessed to have these great people in our lives.

We were going to go to the cabin, but decided to just have a staycation day instead with no kids.  It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon for disc golfing down in Des Moines, then to brewery celebration with food trucks and live music.  Then we headed back to Lynch's for games and relaxing the rest of the day.

Fiddler on the roof was the first of our 2022 - 2023 Broadway shows package at the Civic Center.  This year we are trying Saturday afternoon matinees at 2pm.  I'd seen Fiddler on the Roof quite a few times before and was very glad when Mike and Shanna said they liked it.  We went to Court Avenue afterwards for supper and met up with Mindy and Scott.  It was Halloween weekend, so it was fun to watch the people in costumes:)
