New Aquarium

After our old 125-gallon aquarium sprung a leak (50+ gallons worth on the floor), it took a few months to get everything cleaned up and dried out. We finally got our replacement aquarium last month, thanks to Michael Hunter (AKA Mike the Fish Guy) at Wet World in Eagan and to Nick Sranske at Central Aquatics. It's a big 150-gallon, 6 foot long saltwater reef tank. It's full of tangs and clown fish and lots and lots of cool corals and anemones. Here are some pics!

Leaf Raking

The whole gang came over to help rake leaves last month. Hilarity ensued.

Camping Out

Mid-October Sherry and Mike camped out (in the backyard) with Collin and Hayley. Our babysitter Kierra joined us for roasted marshmallows over the firepit before we all hit the tent for bedtime.

Picnic at the Lake

Here are some pics from a picnic we had at a local lake and playground during a warm October evening.
