Allie has always liked the movie Finding Nemo, especially Dory the fish and Dude the turtle. When Tom and Janet were here, Allie and Grandma Janet made fish out of paper plates and then Allie and Sam made a green turtle. There are turtles in the ponds at Sam's course and he was able to get one in a bucket and bring it home for Allie to see. She wanted to show her paper turtle to the real one. Dude wasn't very happy in his bucket so Sam and Allie promptly returned him to the course, as Allie said, "so he be with his family and be happy."
Allie and Sam had a Daddy/Daughter weekend in mid-September while I made a trip to Omaha. They went to the shop at the golf course to check on the crew...
...and then to the clubhouse to complete payroll.
It was great to have dinner with Mom, Dad and Jeff.
The next night, Mom, my best friend Michaela and I saw Jersey Boys. It's a fantastic musical!
Turtle River State Park is about 20 minutes from Grand Forks and we went for a short hike and a picnic last weekend. Sam said it was good for his soul to be out of town and back in nature for a while. You can take the man out of nature, but you can't take the love of nature out of the man. Here's Sam and Allie calling for squirrels.
Allie still loves her backpack, and thanks to her being a peanut, still fits comfortably in it. Pony got to come to the "turtle park" too.
Happy girl - both of us
They have cross country trails and a great sledding hill, so we'll be back in the winter.
This is Wormy. Sam and Allie planted trees while I was in Omaha and Allie rediscovered worns, this time with a new found love for them. We even found a book about a worm at the library this week. Don't worry, Wormy is safely back in the dirt outside.
