Last weekend was the perfect weekend--relaxing, great weather, great friends, pumpkins, hay rides, apples....you get the picture. The recap of Saturday in pictures.....
Sadie loves apples...can you tell?
Kael and Ellison enjoying a few of their own
The beauty of fall in the midwest never gets old!
And now the search begins....to find the perfect pumpkin
...'perfect pumpkin' means different things to different people. Matt looks forward to being able to find the most 'artistic' pumpkin--not sure he would call it that, but that's my term for it. It's a challenge every year to find the most unique 'collection' of pumpkins. Last year, I believe we spent about $50 on pumpkins, as a result. This year was about the same! And it's rubbing off on Wyatt--but the appreciation for the amazing world we live in and the natural beauty around us is something worth passing along.
Wyatt, Sadie, Kael, and Elli
Apparently apples sitting on the ground are just asking to be used for pitching practice...
(notice the kids cheering him on?!)
After we got our apples and pumpkins, we stopped at the petting zoo/play area for a bit. Nothing too exciting here, but I had to include these pictures and quickly write about Kael and Wyatt. They rushed over to see the donkey, but once the donkey took interest in them, they slowly began backing up....
(notice how they also grabbed each other's hands?)
In many ways, Kael and Wyatt have very similar personalities and it was so cute to see them both react to this donkey in the same way. They are pretty tough boys when it comes to playing football and hockey together, but quite tentative/cautious in new situations. We are so thankful to live closer to such great friends and hope Wyatt, Kael, Sadie, and Elli will grow up to be great friends!
I had to include this one last picture--Matt's personal collection (along with Wyatt and Sadie's additions) of the most unique/colorful/random pumpkins.
