Pumpkin Fun

Last week we took our fall trip to Boyd's Orchard. This is the second year we have gone,

and it was really fun!

Of course it's fun when you have a brother like this to play in the pumpkins with you!

Here's me with my two little pumpkins.

Thanks to some steady pumpkins for holding up my smallest baby boy.

The weather was absolutely perfect!


There were lots of good photo ops!

Right away, Adam got busy at the task at hand...

Carrying pumpkins! He thought he needed to carry all the

miniature pumpkins over to the piles of bigger pumpkins.

There were bales of hay to climb (which didn't mix well with my flip flops, I might add).

And play sets and slides...

Plus a little fun for the big kids too.

Such a brave boy!

First Trip to the Zoo

We recently took a family trip to the Cincinnati Zoo!

The elephants were a little scary to be the first things we saw.

Don't worry, Caleb came too. We just put him in charge of the guide map.


There were a lot of birds in here, just apparently not in our picture.

Adam and Dada fed a giraffe.

These are "duck ducks" too, and don't try to tell Adam differently.

Admit it -- zebras are cool any day. I think God still has a good laugh at himself over zebras.

These little miniature penguins (not the correct name I don't think) were the only animals whose noise Adam really wanted to mimic. So cute!

Sometimes I forget the world we live in. Of course, we need hand washing stations near all the animals that you can pet! Let's be honest, I'd want to wash my kids hands...and my own, but still...definitely a sign of the times.

Since these were just his height, I thought we might not be able to leave! Adam was super excited to get his hands sudsy and then wash them off himself!

For the full experience, he also took two rides down the escalator on the way out.

As you can imagine, he passed out on the way home...dreaming of

"duck ducks" and hand-washing stations.

Summer Fun

Just remembering times I don't want to forget...

Adam's New Room

Welcome to my new room!

Have you ever seen so many choo-choos in one place?

Yep, that's a crib. Mommy thought I might still need it but I
refuse to sleep there. I like my big boy bed better.


I love my table, and if you come play with me, I'll pat the chair and ask you to "Sit!".

Mommy thinks these things look nice on the shelf, but I'd rather play with them.

I let her put them there for a picture.

More trains!

Stuff goes in there.

This train used to be my daddy's when he was little. How cool!

Thanks for checking it out!

Cousins

Warning: This blue crew has been spending some time together! This is Brennan, Adam, and Caleb. Here they are reeling you in with their innocent faces.

I think they may be planning some future mischief...



They are sure to have lots of fun.

Horsey Fun

We recently spent an afternoon in downtown Lexington looking at all of the painted horses that are out for HorseMania 2010.

This became a great game for Adam, looking for the next horse.

There were some really cool horses!

The fountains were pretty cool, too, but we didn't have backup clothes!

We heard lots of "Oh my!".

We saw 20 or 30 horses on our walk.

How fun to be downtown, too! It reminded us we need to get there more often.
