WOW! What a Weekend!

Ok, so MEA weekend is always the weekend to pack all the last Fall things in before the weather turns and it often involves Riley Birthday festivities too...This year was CRAZY packed! Thursday we had a play date at Maple Grove Maze with my friend Jess and her boys (Meg was supposed to come too, but the girls have been sick!) Then yesterday we went to Auntie Jessie's place to have a FULL day of adventure in the country (more on that later) and then today and tomorrow were the first of Riley's birthday parties. Here goes with the MEA long weekend in review. I will start with the Farm...that will take a few posts!

Yesterday, we headed down to Jessie and Cory's place near Belle Plaine. We started at a Park Reserve to look for birds (most have migrated so we were a little late for the Bird Nerding, but it was still a beautiful morning for a nature hike). Played at a little playground there and then headed off to lunch. We went to Emma Krumbees to eat, hit the Apple Orchard/Scarecrow Festival and then off to the Big Yellow Barn (also known as Minnesota's Largest Candy Store!) Then back to Jessie's to play with the horsies. I will break that into 3 posts so Meg can have her blog posts spread out over the whole week...she yells at me when I go idle to long ;)
