Fun at the Park

Before daddy's football game, we all decided to go to the park to feed the ducks and have fun on the playground equipment. This park was the best.

Feeding the ducks was awesome! Em could throw the food in front of her and the ducks came swimming.

Or, she could stand still, and they would come stand next to her.

We had tons of bread, and went through it quickly with all the ducks that were around us.

After we went through the food, we went to the playground.

The swings were a hit with both kids. Emma loves her brother and he loves her. In each other's eyes, they hung the moon.

Between the slides and the swings, the kids had a great time.

We ended our wonderful fall, fun time at the park with a ride on the train.

Em no sooner got on, then she yelled, "All aboard." It was the cutest!

Pumpkin Patch

This weekend was the Sycamore Orchard Fall Festival, and we had decided early on we wanted to take the kids. I wish that Mimi and Pop were able to come down to come with us, but they are both busy, and I know it's not always easy to get away (just the two of them). We also wish that Grammi and Pa-Pa were able to come, but we know they always have things going on too.



So, Tommy and I decided to take the kids after church. However, church didn't work out because Jackson was asleep, and we did not feel comfortable waking him up. Before we left, we made sure we were all packed for the day, because it would have been too much coming and going for the kids to have to come back to the house to get things for Jeff and Jenna's.



The Orchard was great!! We started off with some lunch, and then got Em's face painted. We have been singing, "Halloween Cat, Halloween Cat. Why do you, why do you meow like that? Neither I nor the moon like your tune. So scat. Halloween Cat." Well...here's your Halloween Cat:)



After the face painting, we opted for the hayride. Em said she didn't want to do the hayride until...


we told her there were horse rides involved...how easily she can be bribed:)



Emma loved riding Wizard. She did a great job, and didn't even need to be told the rules of riding!



Jacks did a great job. He never fusses or cries. He is the best baby!!


We had a great time at the Orchard!
