2025 :: November

 November was fall fun, some sports, school, work, thanksgiving, lefse making, and ended with our first snow.

2025 :: road trip to Colorado - October

 We did the ultimate Midwest family road trip over conferences long weekend. South Dakota: Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Black Hills, Sylvan Lake. Wyoming: Devil's Tower. Colorado: seeing family, Rocky Mtn National Park, New Belgium brewery tour. Nebraska: Omaha zoo. Also drove through Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

We had a great time, saw so many cool things, and other than some nighttime fog the first night of driving, we had really great weather!!
