Fall Fun

Fall wouldn't be fall without a Fall Festival to attend. By Far the favorite activity was the petting zoo. Since I am anti-animal-in- the-house, my kids are deprived of the special bond between humans and animals. So thank you fall festival for filling this void in their lives!

Adelyn LOVED the bunnies!

Adelyn on her noble steed. This girl loves to ride horses!

Benson wanted to ride the BIG pony

Oh yeah, we also rode on a "train", took a hay ride, got to explore a fire truck, jumped in the bouncy world, painted pumpkins, and ate cotton candy! What a day!

The Lake

Benson is a total boy. His favorite things consist of throwing rocks, picking up sticks, playing in dirt, climbing, and wearing his favorite hat. We decided to take a trip to the lake so he could participate in all of these activities! It was a dream come true for the little man! While we were there, we also ran into a little family of ducks. Luckily we had an old PP&J in the car to share with them!

Can you tell he likes Big Sticks?

Nesting

Ok So I am totally in nesting mode! Yesterday I folded like 50 loads of laundry, cleaned my bathroom, reorganized my pantry and cleaned out my refrigerator. Today I got a craving for pizza and wanted to try making one homemade. I have to give myself a pat on the back because it was pretty darn good for a first time pizza maker, if I do say so myself. Papa John's better watch his back!

Ever feel like you want to just get away for a few days? Well we did and so we went to California for a much needed break! Nate had a business trip in San Diego and I didn't want to get left behind...so the whole family went. We had a great time at the temple, aquarium, beach and of course Disney Land! The best part was Disney. Adelyn loved meeting the Disney Princesses and Benson loved the Buzz Lightyear ride. As we were leaving the park Benson said, "That was fun!" Adelyn got to go on her first "big kid" ride Splash Mountain...She of course loved the huge drop at the end and got totally soaked! We were also able to spend time with Nate's sister Michelle, who recently moved there. It was a great trip!
