Santa's Village

We told Matthew if he was a good boy we would go to Santa's Village this weekend. I told him they decorate for Halloween, so he asked me if they changed the name to Halloween Village. What a smart little guy.

Santa's Village

He liked him and was amused because he had a big tongue.

She really liked this guy.

This guy was too cute I had to include him, a baby llama.

Molly went on her first amusement ride. It was hot air balloons that went around in circles and up in the air.

She really liked it.

She took it all in and just watched, Grant and I learned we do not have a very high tolerance anymore for spinning rides.
Matthew was fishing for sharks

I gave her a couple of snacks and apparently she felt someone was going to steal them because she put them all in her hands.

Weddings

We've had lots of weddings lately, our cousin Lindsey got married and Ti ti stood up in that one. The kids went to the wedding but not the reception. Then the next week we had our family friend Walker's wedding and boy were the kids excited to get to go to the reception. Matthew ad Molly with Ti ti in her bridesmaid dress.

We had time in between so we actually went and hung out at Pheasant Run since it was super close to the reception.

Ti ti and Molly

Check out Matthew's killer dance moves. He didn't want to dance on the main floor because he didn't like the crowd, he needed more room to move.

Oh, you know you're jealous and wish you could move like this.

He even has a way with the ladies.

He goes for older women. At least he knows how to pick em.

Molly partied hard. She has Steve's tie around her head for a sweat band.

Here she is rocking Steve's tie again.

Second Pumpkin Patch

The second pumpkin patch of the season was to Goebberts. We always have to go here because they have such cool animals, its best to go during the week too because its cheaper. We went on Wednesday and had another beautiful day that was actually a little on the warm side. Today we went with Nine, Ti ti, Mommy, Molly, and Matthew.

Inside a pumpkin's mouth

She wouldn't pose, she was too fascinated with the pumpkin handle.

How fun, a camel ride with Matthew and Ti ti.

She enjoyed her second pony ride as much as the first.

As you can tell he always loves pony rides.

Petting a kangaroo

She was fine with the camel, until he got in her face. This was a little too close for comfort.

Molly was thinking, luckily I don't' think you can fit your head through there

Its hard to see but I have never seen a baby lemur and he was so cute.

First Pumpkin Patch

Here are some pictures from our first pumpkin patch of the season. A little later of a start this year on pumpkin patch season. Today we went to Johansen farms with Uncle Dane and Aunt Danielle. The first of many to follow and we couldn't have asked for a nicer day.

Daddy and Molly She liked the hay for a little bit.

Here it looks like she is walking into a hay storm

Matthew would spend all day in here if we let him.

Here's Matthew catching Uncle Dane by surprise.
