A trip to Grammy and Papa's

Last weekend we made our first trip to Grammy and Papa's new house. We're so excited that they live much closer now and we love their new house. While we were there we took the kids on the ferry to the aquarium. Kyle thought that was pretty cool that we could take the car on the boat.

We had a great time at the aquarium. Kyle had a face to face encounter with some alligators and we loved watching all of the fish swim around in the giant tank, especially the enormous green eel.





Afterwards, we headed into town and got some icecream. I think somebody liked it!



But, to be totally honest, I think the highlight of the trip for Kyle was the bubble bath he had in Grammy's tub. There were so many bubbles, we could hardly find him! He's still talking about it and hopes he gets another one next time we visit :)

Pumpkin patch

Time to catch up a little! Last week we went on a trip with Kyle's preschool class to the pumpkin patch.

It was a chilly morning, but that didn't stop us from having lots of fun. We started off the morning playing in the corn pit. What a blast the kids had running around with corn kernels between their toes.



They also had a corn maze where Kyle and his buddies played a little hide and seek. This is where he found his most prized posession, a corn cob. He carried that thing around with him the entire day!



Meanwhile, baby Ryan looks on wishing he was one of the big boys.



Next, we were off to the barn to see and feed some of the animals...and play with a little hay :)



And finally, we went on the long awaited wagon ride around the farm, which Kyle just loved, and ended up at the pumpkin patch. Ok, they were pre-picked, but they didn't know the difference!



After our ride, we sat and ate lunch, got some icecream, and played a little more. Kyle actually ASKED me to take a picture of him and Ryan sitting on the hay bales. So, of course, I couldn't resist!

Don't move

Just a minor obstacle. As you can see, she's really worried about it.

Pumpkin time

Today we went and picked out our pumpkins. If it were up to Kyle, I think we would have come home with about 20 pumpkins, but we finally settled on two small ones, one for him and one for Ryan, and one big one. It's hard to believe it's almost Halloween already!

Kyle and Daddy had a little fun playing witch and monster too!

My furry baby

I was playing around with my camera today and it turns out that Abbey was my most cooperative subject. So, here's to my furry baby.

My little road racer

We were out on the driveway playing with chalk today and I decided to draw a little road course, complete with stop signs and gas station for filling up. No gas shortage at this station. Anyway, Kyle got on his bike and drove around the course like a pro. He just thought that was so much fun!

Splish, splash

And no, he wasn't taking a bath. Nope, not the dog bowl either. So, where else can you have so much fun splashing around? Yep, you guessed it, the oh so clean toilet! Yuck! I'm usually pretty good about keeping the door closed, but I guess I forgot this time around and someone seized the opportunity.
