Fall FUN

FALL is here...I just love the smell of the leaves and the air this time of the year. Hopefully this weather will stick around for a while, this is one season that I think is too short.

We started celebrating fall a few weekends ago at mom's with the kids. Mom and I took Taylor, Drew, and Raegan to Nelson Farm by Litchfield. They had a day of fun planned for everyone....the kids were petting all kinds of animals (chicks, sheep, goats, turkeys, and more), going on lawn tractor train rides, eating mini doughnuts and had their faces painted. There was HUGE playset with a long tunnel slide that Taylor and Drew absolutely LOVED. I lost count of how many times they raced up the ladder, only to stand in line patiently, then zoom down the slide and run around to do it all over again. They laughed so much. Raegan was busy on the slides that were her size, altho she would have done this big one too if someone would have brought her to the top! Next year...
We went on a tractor ride where we rode in the hay trailer, through the corn field and the pumpkin patch, the kids thought we were going to get stuck! I cannot forget about the wagon ride Taylor, Drew and I did...down a big hill and I had to steer...again the kids just laughed! At the end of the day we all had to pick out a pumpkin to bring to grandmas for painting.
No more than 5 minutes into the car ride home, all 3 kiddos were sleeping!!

Raegan turned 2 last week, we celebrated this weekend with a party at their house. She is becoming such a big girl, so independent and follows her big brother's every move. Taylor loves playing with her every time they get together. The weather was so nice we were able to run off some energy outside. The kids played baseball while the male adults shot some bow and arrow and pellet guns!! We ended the day with gifts, a meal, and birthday cake. Happy Birthday Raegan - I am so happy to be your godmother!





We've had a busy fall so far....we went to our 2nd Twins game in earlier in September also, the outdoor baseball is just so much fun and the stadium is amazing!! That same weekend we were at the Vikings game, even though they lost the game was still lots of fun and the atmosphere was just great. We went with Rick and Brooke and we had so much fun people watching more so than watching the game!! Thanks to both our companies for getting us tickets to these games.
