Now that it’s officially fall, I suppose I ought to document these pictures from summer, right?! We crammed in quite a bit of fun right before school started for Abe!
A Sunday evening at the beach. We finally got the kite out—see it way up there?!
Our first attempt to the petting farm with Emily, Brady, and Maddie was rained out (despite the fact that we kept checking the weather and it was supposedly clear), so we found an alternative that appeased our bummed kiddos…. McDonald’s PlayPlace!
The next day-perfect weather! We were glad we didn’t just chance it the day prior. We milked a cow, fed goats, road ponies, held baby chicks, went on a hayrack ride and played all sorts of fun games. A funny side note about the cow: we successfully milked it (really neat!) and then RIGHT after we stepped back, the cow peed….and let me tell you….she really went to town….it was a LOT…for a LONG time…. Anyway, afterward, one of the workers swept it under the stand and put fresh hay down. Apparently, this was quite a monumental moment in little Charlie’s life, because for 3 weeks after that, he thanked God in his prayers every night for “the chance to go to the petting farm where the cow peed and the boy swept it up”!!
of course out of all the empty buggies, Charlie squeezes right in next to Maddie—doesn’t she look thrilled?!
Lastly, Tosa fest! We told the boys they could pick one activity, and they wanted to ride the camel:
The weekend right before school started we enjoyed a quick trip to Indianapolis with the Leuthold family, but sadly I didn’t get any pictures of that!
And now, we are soaking up fall. The boys are really into it this year, continually noting the changes in the leaves and look forward to carving pumpkins! While I enjoy different things about every season, this is truly my favorite time of year!
