Weekdays:
- Monday - Boss' Day! My team was so sweet and sent me an edible arrangements to celebrate! Maci had gymnastics in the evening, a makeup class since she missed on Saturday for her soccer game. Connor had his own soccer practice and Clint mowed the lawn.
- Tuesday - Boomer turns 14!!! He really didnt care HA but the kids enjoyed it. We got our new AC installed all day, that last unit lasted the whole 20 years of the house's life but it was time. Clint and I then had to meet at Greenwood for Fall conferences. Connor was up first and they think he may get put into enrichment classes because he is a smart fella and gives 0 Fs haha! Thankfully he is a nice friend and listens well to his teacher. Maci was up next and this teacher adores her. He said to stop focusing on the standardized test scores b/c he will take a Maci student any day as she cares, tries so hard, asks for his help, is a natural leader etc. Thank goodness, we must be doing something right!
- Wednesday - The kids already had no school but we didnt take PTO for Wed so they were home while Clint worked. I was at the office and got home for dinner. I then worked from the basement most of the evening as we are in busy times and I wanted work in a spot where I didnt have to think about it during our fall break.
- Thursday - Up and at 'em to start packing for Grandview Resort. We were on the road by 10a and at the resort by lunch time. We killed time walking around the resort, having a beer and appetizer and coloring/checking out the gift shop. We got into our cabin around 3p and the kids were ready to go swimming right away. For dinner we headed to Zorbaz at Gull Lake.
Friday :
- Maci and I woke first and took a little walk outside and watched squirrels play in the tree
- We picked up coffees and donuts for everyone
- Once everyone was up and at 'em we went by the spa to shop a bit but didnt make any purchases
- We road the horse drawn carriage as a family
- We then went to lunch at the Pub where the kids started to find their obsession with getting rubber ducks from the claw machine.
- After lunch we got faces painted at the golf course and Clint/I enjoyed some cocktails and pro shop shopping.
- We had dinner out at sunshine summerhouse which was tasty and the kids got to play soccer outside while waiting on food.

This girl really wanted a jaw breaker and then realized that they aren't super yummy
Saturday :
- Maci and I got up again and took a little walk
- This time we all started our day with breakfast at the buffet
- We headed into downtown Nisswa for shopping at 10a - while Maci and I shopped, Clint and Connor sat at a bar watching college football
- Maci and I both found some good items and then came back to the bar for lunch
- Afterward, I took Connor with us for a stuffed animal and they each got some candy at Chocolate Ox
- We headed back to the resort in time for painting pumpkins
- Once done, Maci wanted to go back and chill but Connor wanted to go swimming so Clint/Connor went swimming and Maci/I took naps
- We had dinner out again but this time at my fav place, Bar Harbor! Such a lovely supper club :) We had great steaks, goat cheese/truffle potatoes and espresso martinis!
- We headed to the pub once home and the kids ruled the duck claw machine while Clint and I enjoyed a night cap drink and good college football games
Pumpkin Painting Fun
We Love the Decor
Walked down to the dock and took a selfie in the dark
Easily a cool $50 spent on winning these ducks
Sunday :
- Time to head home :(
- We ate at the buffet again
- Packed up to be checked out by 11a
- Hung out with a mimosa and bloody mary at the golf pub until Chocolate Ox opened at 12p
- We grabbed some final candy goodies and then were off on the drive.
- We are listening to football in the car and should get home around 230p

Lots of Love,
