Pumpkin Festival and Veggie Tales

It's been quite a busy week around here. We are planning Bernie's 3rd birthday party for this Sunday, even though his actual birthday isn't until Thursday. It's gets so busy around Halloween, that we kind of have to squeeze it in.

Last Sunday, we went to the Hunsader Farms Pumpkin Festival about 20 miles from here. It's hard to believe farms exist only 20 miles from us, since our area is so busy and populated and basically has no vacant land. We headed to the festival with Marty's parents and sisters. Lots of cousin fun!

Going through the hay maze


Sharing their orange soda, which resulted in orange mustaches the rest of the day.


Grammy caught dancing with the kiddos!


At the Boogie Barn, where you Boogie, of course. Look who was shy and sat down the whole time.


Hay maze, petting zoo, pony rides, circus and so much more!



On Thursday evening, my mom took us to see Veggie Tales Live. Arianna said she loved it while Bernie became somewhat uninterested after intermission.







The kids are standing at the stage for a close up view. This was at the very end. Do you see that black box to the left of Bernie? Looks like a speaker, right?


Well 2 seconds later we found out that it was a bubble machine! Bubby had bubbles all over his head!


What a fun week! Look out for a dino-roaring birthday party coming up!

Beachin' it in October

We are having just about perfect weather. During the mid-day, it can be a bit hot to turn the A/C off, but, ah, feels so nice most of the day. The kids and I enjoyed this perfect weather at the beach today. Just enough wind so you don't sweat, but not strong enough to blow the sand every which way.

When we first arrived at the beach, Arianna was trying to hide from the paparazzi.





However, it didn't take long for her to realize she liked the attention and started to perform


and pose.


Bernie could have cared less about the extra attention and kept his focus on the sand.




Somehow, the camerawoman got him to break that sand concentration and actually got a good laugh.



Here's to hoping the weather stays beautiful and doesn't get hot again!
