It was a gorgeous mid-October weekend with plenty of sunshine and temperatures near the mid to low 70s. We ran our normal routine, including a massive garage sale at an indoor storage unit, where we managed to pick up a nice pair of snow pants for Merrick. On our way to the Sanctuary for a hike we managed to score some very nice pumpkins that were sitting for sale. Put the money in the can type of business and the kids couldn't have been more pleased. Most of the animals in the sanctuary were feeding, which is always good for watching. We were able to watch the two river otters play in the water and wrestle around. Sadly the cougar had died (18 years old) since we were there last and the exhibit now held a fisher. The fisher itself is still a cool animal. We were also able to feed the deer, strange as it was because it was a doe season in most of the state. Sunday was a bit of grocery shopping and then the carving of the pumpkins. Sophia was meticoulus about getting every string portion of gourd from the inside, while Merrick was less interested after he drew his face on the pumpkin for me to cut out and wandered off to play in the leaves. Nap time and Packers games took place before a trip to the bike trail to roller blade and bike for the kids, as well as some munching on rose hips and wild grapes. As most weekends, not a bad way to pass a couple of days.
