Early Autumn in Grand Forks

Early Autumn is a beautiful time in Grand Forks - the trees and grass are still green, the mosquitos are dwindling, and the sub-zero temperatures are still at least a month away. Maybe that's why Rob's parents seem to visit every year at this time...





Mom and Dad Wood came mostly to visit the grandkids (who wouldn't want to see these cuties?), but we hope they enjoyed our company too. Haley loved having someone to play with all the time, and also loved climbing around in their motorhome. She was so excited when we all drove in it out to the headwaters of the Mississippi River. We enjoyed perfect fall weather and an amazing display of fall colors on the trees. Haley enjoyed splashing in the water - until one of her sandals slipped off and tried to make a run for New Orleans. Luckily I waded in fast enough to catch it and the disaster (in her mind anyway) was averted.


Don't go grandma! Who will hold me???
