I am sure that most of you know that my mom has been a teacher for many years. Over 40 to be more exact. This year she has decided to start her much deserved retirement. Well, she is still working her other job but she had officially retired from teaching.
We wanted to do a little something for her to celebrate this accomplishment so we decided to give her something that every teacher loves to get, an apple. (Well, an apple tree anyways). Hopefully there will eventually be apples as well. Congratulations mom, happy retirement. You deserve it!
Then Avery did a little earth worm wrangling after we planted the trees.
And finally, an "Only in Minnesota" item. We went to watch the parade celebrating the Alexandria fire departments 125th year and saw a little something that you can only see in Minnesota.

Great job guys!!!!! MOM SURELY DID DESERVE THOSE TREES! Did they have firetrucks at the parade too??? I hope Avery didn't eat any of those worms! Cool she isn't afraid of them! my 3 girls won't touch them! :o) (THANKS FOR THE BLOG CHRIS! It's nice seeing stuff we all can't be @ Mom's to do at the same time!):o) !!! Janine
OMG My mom retired from teaching this year too! Of course, *she's* moving to Florida. Sheesh...
Totally awesome shot of the snowplow though. Did people cheer when it passed by? Don't they realize that they are cheering the thing that blocks in their driveways 10-20 times a year?
