Fall Fun

Last week, the boys' daycare, Appletree, had a Fall Harvest party at the school.  They boys had a great time roaming from room to room to play games.  They also had popcorn, donuts and cider...  We always have fun at the parties at school.

Chris and Seth.  He's so good at these self-portraits.

Last weekend we made our annual trip to Post Family Farm.  The boys had been there earlier in the week for a field trip for school.  Chris was lucky enough to accompany them and help out.  The boys were most excited about riding the school bus. That was a HUGE thing for them.  Chris was less excited about riding the school bus with the 4 & 5 year olds of the Pre-K classes.  These pictures are of our trip there as a family.

Seth loved the zipline.  I'm so glad that he's getting a little more brave and adventuresome.  I'm still holding out hope that one of these days we'll all be able to ride roller coasters together.

Seth wanted to ride the pony.  Noah flatly refused...until he saw Seth on the horse.  Then he begged us to go.

My handsome boys.

Noah in the barrel car thing.  He wanted to ride in the last one.  I decided he wanted that one because it was the bounciest one.

Hayride to the pumpkins.

Entrance to the corn maze.  We only got turned around a couple of times and cheated once.  That's not so bad.  

Chris promised the boys that if they stood nicely for a picture he'd take a picture of them jumping.

Yes, I was there, too.  Bonus points if you can spot me in the picture.

Chris became the great Daddy in the whole world when he brought a gigantic strip of bubble wrap into the house!  It was super noisy, but so much fun.

I tried rolling on the bubble wrap.  It didn't work as well as I had hoped...it might have something to do with my 'helpers'.

Popping bubble wrap gets better with a coonskin hat.

Yesterday Chris and I participated in the Zombie Dash with my sweet friend Elizabeth, our neighbor, Ed and his nephew, Larry.  The Zombie Dash is a 5K with a bit of a twist.  There were zombies throughout the race.  We each wore two life strips and the goal was to get through the 5K with your life strips.  The zombies were there to take your life strips and to scare the tinkle out of you.

Chris and I at the top of 'Kill Hill'.  That hill was no fun at all...probably why they called it kill hill.

I do not like to be scared, so I was actually dreading this run.  Luckily I was wrong to dread it and it turned out to be so much fun.  Chris and I didn't survive, though.  We lost our life strips early on in the race.  Thanks, zombies.
