The Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we visit the McDougals Apple Junction and Pumpkin Patch. The weather was terrific and warm. It was so much fun. The kids chased around the chickens and goats. The boys raced each other on all-terrain trikes and loved it. We also did a maze through a corn field and took a ride on a trailor out to pick our pumpkins. It was a great afternoon!

Three Happy Skaters

We now have all three kids on skates! I never thought this day would come! It is so nice to be on the ice will all of the kids at open skating. Colin got new skates-his first nonhandmedown. He is starting skating lessons tomorrow so we went to try them out. I was wondering what to do with Nat while I was on the ice with Colin but then I remembered the pair of little skates in the basement. So, we put them on her and she started to giggle! So cute! She refused to use the walker-except to take a pictures. I helped her out and she skated for nearly 2 hours. Colin loved his skates. Ryan was off skating with some of the other boys having a blast! Poor Josh missed all the excitement. He was at a Gopher hockey game. Good thing we took pics for him!
