Fall Fun

We went on a hay ride.  It was awesome!  We rode the wagon up to a corn maze and then over to an orchard to get some apples, and then to a pumpkin patch!  :)

In the corn maze.





The tractor driver even gave the boys a turn!


Feeding the goats after our ride.


Watching a cider press in action.

Fred and Mildred:  Some of our favorite people!

Another of my favorite people!!!

And even more of my favorite people!  We had fondue night with Jason and Sue.  We had two pots, one with a broth and one with oil.  Yum!!!  Notice the fresh salmon, shrimp, chicken, steak, vegetable assortment, and a variety of dipping sauces.  Top that off with some sparkling lemonade and you've got a DELICIOUS meal!  And fun too!!

Helping unwrap the caramels for the caramel fondue.


Yum!!!

The boys did a scavenger hunt on Halloween.  They loved running around the house, following the clues, and finding prizes.

Hahhahaha!  I love this one!

And this one!!!

We took a trip to the park to play in the fallen leaves.  I tried to get a few fun pictures of the boys.  Here were some of my keepers.


For some reason pictures of a little boy walking like this just melt my heart!  Especially when his pants are too big!  :) Ha!









Guess where those leaves are headed!



We spent some time raking leaves up at the convention grounds.  The boys were a big help, as long as they could hitch a ride back on the tarp!

Leah found a prize in her pile!

Meanwhile the guys were laying blocks and building a block wall.

We had some special guests passing through.  Cody and Dan went to work with Jason for a day, we had to visit them on the job!


A visit to Mike and Tawn's this weekend was great!  The kids made a big mess with beans, the guys went bird hunting, and Tawn and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend!  

A practice hunt with the kids.

Storytime!  
Tawn and I took the kids up into Canada to a community centre water park.  It was a great place to take the kids. There was an adventure river, hot tub, waterslide, etc. and very reasonably priced!  And one of the highlights of the weekend was that we took the van up, and Jason and Mike fixed it!!!!  Woohoo!  It has been deemed ready for a trip to WI for Thanksgiving too!  :)
