Fall Drone

Ugh, these all loaded in reverse order, and I really don't want to go through and sort them out... so you get them as is :-)

I came back to the west side of the river on Sunday morning to capture the amazing colors at Gold Medal Park: 

Saturday evening after our trunk or treat in Maple Grove we went over to Weaver Lake but as you can see it's pretty much past peak there. 

Landing on the east side of the river on Saturday, it was COLD! Had a little scare with the drone getting too far out of range, I was drawn over by the vibrant colors at Gold Medal Park (which is why I went back the next day) Beautiful views of the stone arch bridge and Mississippi River. 

Friday, while the kids were in school I did some flying, flew it over to their school to capture some views from above and watched as the girls walked home from school, lol. It was the same day Thomas had his arm follow up so he was already home. You might be able to spot them in these next three pics. 

Our lake <3 

View from right above our house, We love our location!

Rest of October

October 23rd, Monday.

I worked that morning, Thomas stayed home and rested. 

Grandma Judy sent him some balloons. 

LOL I didn't realize Kyle's face in this photo until now, Thomas was obviously feeling better as he punched the balloons to get some energy out. 

Should have taken a photo the night before but thought about it Monday evening. it definitely seemed like his cast was expanding. They cut slits in it to allow for expansion as the arm swells during the healing process. 

Here it is two days later, not sure if you can tell or not. 

Thursday the 26th had our Girls on the Run practice 5K. 

And missing Harpo! It was his birthday that day. 

Lovely fall walk with a friend on Friday. 

Then a check up appointment for Thomas. 

Guess what was on the TV in clinic!?!? Yes, Paw Patrol. 

Now that the swelling has gone down they put another layer of cast around the outside, this one will stay on for another 4 weeks (So casted for 5 weeks total)

Gotta have an ice cream visit in there :-) 

School photos came back, Emma decided she wanted to do re-takes. 

Still swimming once a week, but was the last time before the YWCA closed down. I signed up for master swimming the next month and boy did that improve my swimming quickly. I went from swimming 600-1400 yards on my own once a week to now swimming 1900-2100 yards twice a week, I also have learned the butterfly stroke!! Thanks to a great coach and flippers :-) 

Kyle and I went for a run together Saturday the 28th and I got a frosty badge from Garmin for running when it's below freezing out. 

We made a batch of ghost earrings on the 3D printer, girls had fun giving them as teacher gifts. 

Some views from a fall run, colors are gorgeous this time of year, way more vibrant than Kansas or Missouri, part of why I love Minnesota.
