Fall Fun: The Hollow

Vince and I had gone away for a long weekend without the boys and wanted to have some family fun when we got back. We had heard about this place really close to us with tons of fun fall things and thought we would check it out. Since it was a Monday, it was nice and quiet and we had a great time. 

There was a corn bin for playing in:

Farm animals to check out:

And of course bakery treats for sale:

Fall Fun: A Trip to the Zoo

We love when the fall weather cooperates and we get to do tons of fun things out and about! It had been too long since we last saw (SuperNurse) Aunt Cynthia, so we planned a little outing to the zoo with her so we could catch up.

checking out the newest exhibit...

...Ophelia the Octopus

He insists we take the same pictures every time we're here...

I suppose I should just be thankful he still likes having his picture taken!

Fall Fun: Pumpkins!

We had a beautiful fall day to go out looking for pumpkins. We were a little disappointed to find that the pumpkin patch we usually go to no longer exists - in fact the whole business (pumpkins, apple orchard, farm stand...) has shut down. Which only serves to make Vince want to become a farmer and buy it... Silly Daddy. :-) We managed to find signs that we followed to another roadside stand though and found ourselves some great pumpkins anyways. 

Cousin Blake - getting to be such a big boy!

Sitting still for the briefest of moments for me to take his pic

When did he get to be such a big boy?!

Brothers posing nicely...

Ben's getting fidgety....

And.... He's off!

Higher, Daddy! Higher!

:-)

And of course, someone else needed a turn too...

Good thing Daddy is superhero strong!
