Last great day of the year?

We had a great time today on what may well be the last great day of the fall. Just anticipating the worst as winter approaches in a few weeks. Took a quick trip to the library to exchange read books for unread ones, then headed over to a D-III football game at Macalester, where we stopped for lunch at the St. Clair Broiler beforehand.

The kids and I sat in the bleachers for the first half, then went down to the field so I could take some pictures of the game and they played around in the grass. (Not here, on the artificial turf.) Robert was insanely curious about everything on the sidelines, even talking to the Macalester kicker about his practice tee and net during overtime, while the guy was preparing for what could be a game-winning kick. (He said he wasn't bothered but I hustled Robert along anyway.)

All in all, a good mix of patience, running around and goofing around on a beautiful, 70-degree day.
