happenings

Over Labor Day weekend Chris and I ventured out to the annual Lifelight Christian music festival here in town.  A friend gave us some backstage passes and although I was ready to call it a day at 4pm, we decided to try and act "not like parents" and stay out past our bedtime.  Crazy, I know.  So we found a sitter, dropped off the boy and went back for the John Rueben concert.  Woot woot!  And I have to say, it was sooooo worth it!

It helped that John Rueben was cool when I was a teenager so I actually knew some of the songs.  And of course the show was great!  Did I mention that he came on stage wrapped in tinfoil?

Or that he started his own encore? 

It was awesome.  We did eventually get kicked out because apparently our passes were't good for much.  But hey, one security guard's mistake was our gain.  And how cool is it to be kicked out anyway?  It's like we snuck in .... but we didn't.  It was fun.

I mentioned earlier that we were in the twin cities last weekend for a friend's wedding.  We stayed with family, saw lots of friends and had a great time.  And of course we made a little trip here.

We didn't actually need anything, but that has never stopped me from shopping before :)  We found a few treasures, but mostly just enjoyed the experience.  Brooks was quite enamored as well.

Ok ok, it wasn't really the reasonably priced furniture that caught his eye.  It was the largest, most awesomely huge ceiling fan he'd ever seen.

I think this is the last of our travels for a while.  At least until the holidays.  Besides that we've just been having fun around here!  There's lots of exploring to be done ...

...and chocolate chip granola bars to be eaten ...

...and new rooms to be played in.

Brooks even helped wash the couch cushions.

It's hard work as you can see.

Good thing Charlie helpd too.

Oh, and we've done a little shopping too.

We've been busy around here.  But we're having a blast!!
