Cookies!

My first attempt at blogging from my phone. I assume I'll need to make some changes from the desktop, but let's see how it goes!

I made almost 100 sugar cookies...
...then we had the neighborhood kids over to decorate cookies.

Everybody was super creative!
And we had lots of giggles.
And lots of sprinkles.
It was a blast!

Fire Station

We had a fun time visiting our local fire station at their open house. L loves vehicles and he really got a kick out of the "weeeooo weeeoo's."



K loved the fireman poles.

L wasn't too sure about the big moving stuffed animal...
but he did eventually give a hug.


Right before we left we got to see them use the jaws of life to take the top off that van.

Ellms Family 2014

The absolute best way of celebrating fall around here is going to Ellms Family Farms. We have done it every year, sometimes more than once a year, since we have moved here and I love it. (Actually Matt has never been there, and he doesn't realize what he is missing out on!) There is so much to do, and when you get an absolutely gorgeous fall day like we did, you just can't beat it.

The big jumping pillow. Look at that blue sky! It almost looks like Colorado. ;-)

We got to ride on a hayride out to pick our pumpkins. L seriously could have stood here all day just touching the tractor. Kid loves vehicles.


Perfect pumpkins!

Kids got to ride on the Moo-Moo-Choo-Coo. Again, L was in heaven.


A new thing we tried this year was the zip line. C was not going to try it, but she saw her buddies doing it, and then I couldn't get her off it!
Even I got to try it ... :-)
They also just had a little play area with these fun cars.
L would do it all by himself. Climb on at the top, slide down, then push it back into place and go again. I might have to look for one for Christmas.
