Doing the fall thing...

Last weekend we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went to an apple orchard in Illinois (Eckert's). There was loads of stuff to do. Complete with pig races...and yes, I cheered with Dane as the little squeekers ran by. Drake just stood there with his mouth open. The night ended with a bonfire and (not-so) haunted hay ride. At one point a tracter started following our wagon and Dane said, "That's Frank". That's directly from the Disney movie Cars.


This weekend was beautiful also; we spent it outside until bedtime every day. Friday we made a whole town with chalk on our concrete and went for a walk and collected colorful leaves and more walnuts. Saturday we went to a BBQ and bonfire with all of our neighbors from our previous subdivision. After church today we went with our friends to another pumpkin patch and this time got our pumpkin for the year. Notice Dane and Drake eating the apples from last weekend.
Aspen is the little girl with us; Dane and Drake both dote on her every time we are with her...so cute
