Pumpkin Patch 08

We went to the pumpkin patch this evening and had a great time!  Kenzie ran all over the place and boy is she fast!  I think that it must be her new shoes!  Gavin had a great time too.  He really wanted to ride all of the little 50 cent rides.  He looked like a giant in those...he has grown so much!  My folks came with us tonight to take some family pictures...thanks for the help, mom!  I think that Kenzie and Gavin are going to have a great Halloween this year!  I can't wait to share the next batch of photos! 

Apple Picking at Los Rios

Today we went apple picking at Los Rios Apple Farm.  We had such a great time spending the day together.  The kids had a great time, and it was extra special that Lauryn was able to join us.  Each of the kids got to pick apples by hand and by using the apple picker pole.  We all enjoyed eating a fresh picked apple on the way home.  It was such a great experience for all of us, we are going to make this a tradition!  

Fire Station Fun!

In October the fire houses have an open house.  We took the kids and met up with Candice and her kids...and our friends, the Swartz Family.  We had a great time.  The kids enjoyed the tour of the fire station, trying on the gear, and exploring the fire engine and ambulance.  There is never a dull moment when we all get together!  Ha, ha, ha...

An Evening at the Beach...

It was so warm the first couple weeks of October so, one evening I took the kids down to the beach at 5:00 to play in the sand and watch Lindsey surf.  I think it was still 85 degrees!  A nice warm evening and the kids had the best time!  Well....until the end, when Mackenzie came unglued!  

Katie's Wedding Reception

A few weeks back we went to Lindsey's cousin's wedding reception.  The kids had a great time getting all dressed up and seeing the Lester family.  It was a beautiful reception!
