Ch-ch-ch-changes



Since it is the first time I have experienced real seasons, I am blown away by how beautiful Fall can be! The Fall colors are breathtaking here. It is so exciting to see the leaves change so drastically for the first time in my life.

It has been a while since the last post and as you may have guessed, we have been pretty busy! 
Last week on Thursday and Friday there was a delegation, fancy word for visitors. We actually took in one of the men from the team and he stayed here in our apartment for two nights. We did our best to accommodate him, even making him one of our favorite breakfast foods, Swedish pancakes, yum!


On Saturday we went to the zoo. It was a little bit sad because they don’t have the same laws that we do in America. But it was interesting to see all the different animals and to be so close to them. There are also not too many workers around, so people go behind the gates to feed and pet the animals, which could be a little dangerous. Although, thank goodness, this is not possible with the lions and bears, that could be extremely dangerous! 


In the fall spirit, I decided to do something with my pumpkins. So I got a good recipe for pumpkin bread online and  I  got out the big knife and struggled through cutting open on of our pumpkins, then I boiled some and mashed it and made some great tasting pumpkin bread! Did I mention that I love Fall :)
