It seemed like a good idea

We thought it was a good idea - to go to my mom's house down in Wisconsin for the weekend. We were very excited for the annual FFF - Family Fall Frolic. Where all of the family gathers at the farm to spend a nice fall weekend. Sure, sounds like a great idea. We were excited to see Oma and all the rest of the family.

However....there was a bit of a snowstorm this particular weekend. When we left the cities, it was raining. The further south we drove, the heavier the snow became. Until we got to Oma's house (finally) and got settled. It was quite a white-knuckled drive.


Then it got a little worse.




But then the snow stopped and in typical Minnesota (well I guess she lives in Wisconsin) fashion, it got really nice.
Andrew built a snowman (with what little snow was left).



Saturday, the snow melted and we got a snowman built before it all melted away and then got to play outside the rest of the weekend, enjoying the beautiful colors!

We also got to Kellogg again and rode the famous Carousel. It's sort of a 'must' for us when we head down that way. Lark Toys - awesome toy store and they have an indoor carousel and they even have 3 llamas to check out too. Fun place!
