Harvest time

A few weeks ago A went on his first school field trip. What?! Where does the time go?! They went to an apple orchard and picked apples and learned all about how apples grow. We've been going as a family since he was in the belly, so of course we had to go again as a family. Here are a few highlights. 

There's a nice one!

We carried the apples out, he lead Fella. 

Some wheels to help carry the bounty. 

And of course, a donut finish!

Fall is here!

First, to all our devoted followers, it looks like I was really busy today posting. Well, I was, but not really. Unfortunately technology failed and our last 2 posts didn't go up! So, you get lots of fun stuff to catch up on today. Better late than never!

But finally...fall is here! It's my favorite season, even though you all know I love the 90 degree heat most :) But I love fall and the colors, flavors and fun. This past weekend we made it down to DD and DaDoc's and started the fall fun with some pumpkin carving. I'm not sure who had more fun...A or DaDoc!

Getting the pumpkin guts!

Popping out the pieces

Ahh! Attack of the pumpkin!

Hats off to you Mr. P!

The Beach...at last!

We finally got to the beach this year (and I finally got to posting this) and man it's getting more and more fun! Perhaps the best part was that we were able to join dear friends who have young kids too, so A had a blast with his friends and we had adult conversation:) I think the favorite of the trip for everyone was the treasure hunts. 

But of course we had fun swimming and playing in the ocean. 

And we ventured to the sound to throw the net out for fish and lounge on rafts.  

And of course we had some old favorites like hunting for crabs at dark. 

Overall it was a great vacation and we all got to relax a little!

Campfires and marshmallows

I'm pretty sure most kids love a campfire, if only for the fact that a campfire inevitably means s'mores! We came down to the farm this weekend and everything was prepped for a campfire. Since we don't have a yard right now, this was a real treat. 

The boys were so excited they decided to start praising the campfire gods. 

The s'mores were obviously a hit too. 

The night was capped off with a few small fireworks. I mean, why not? 

Goodnight moon!
