Every Fall we take a day-trip around the area to see the beautiful fall colors. This year we went to the Mississippi River and visited the Eagle center. Fall in Minnesota is unique-- instead of beautiful canyons full of color you have rolling hills that go on forever with all kinds of different colors, trees, bushes, etc. Our scenic drive never got old-- we could have continued it for a couple more hours and still been entertained. The boys enjoyed some Harry Potter reading by their Father, some candy at the famous toy store "Larks toys", and were thrilled to hold all kinds of fun creatures--namely snacks! I was pretty surprised to find out that my kids LOVE snakes (when I was 9 I wanted one for my birthday but instead got a bird that died when I fed it chocolate). They were holding them while everyone came around them to pet them. They decided they wanted a "fox snack" for christmas. I told them to call their Grandpa Dunkley and tell him that he needed one for the farm!
This picture is awesome because Benson read somewhere about painted turtles and decided he wanted one for a pet. He was surprised to see one at the Eagle center and was even more thrilled to hold one.
