Last night was the last day of the Aquatennial, here in Minneapolis. It ends every year with big firework show, better than the one they have during the 4th of July.
Cevonne had not seen fireworks in a long time so Scott and I forced her along. She had also never been downtown at night.

The Aquatennial was at its prime in the 40's and 50's with over 200 events. Now there's only 70. They used to have swimming shows with diver acts. The pool doesn't exist anymore, which is too bad.

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast.   Scott added granola to his oatmeal.  The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it.   Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof.  Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

We talked Brittany into joining us for a road trip to Door County, WI. Scott had never been there before ( or so I believe) . Considering how short of a drive it is I'm surprised my family didn't go that often, either.

We made it safely to Bayfield without getting attacked by any bears . I think that's because of my wily driving skills.
