Friday Night Photo Shoot

I have recently taken some photo classes where we go to Nicollet Island and take photos.  Right now the leaves are so pretty, I really wanted to take some photos of Meghan.  It started out a little rough; first I turned on my camera and realized I didn't have a card it in (really, how do you forget that?!), thank goodness I have learned to carry a spare (not the first time this has happened).  Then after about 3 pictures Meghan says she wants to go home... Are you kidding me, we just got here!  Once I started using some of the tricks I learned in my classes, Meghan got into it.  She started picking places to take pictures and saying "I want to sit here" or my favorite "I want to lay here!" in the middle of the sidewalk...sure why not!  So here is a handful of my favorites.

First Day of Fall

Today was the first day of fall and what better way to spend it than outdoors.  This morning Andrea and I went to watch Jordan run her first half marathon (a trail run to top it off!)- The Surely Loppet Trail Run.

In the afternoon Michael, Noreen, Meghan and myself went to Aamott's Apple Orchard- it was
busy!  We bought a ton of apples (ok more like 10 pds of apples) a delicious apple pie, made with 2 gingers whiskey (if you are out there you HAVE to check this out!), and Kettle Corn (which Meghan calls "sweetie popcorn).  We also did a hayride, and jumped in a pile of hay.  Michael and I relived an old photo of us. This was probably right before we got married.
