Pumpkin Patch

We made our third annual trip to the pumpkin patch today. Aidan loved the hay maze.

State Fair

We went to the State Fair on Monday. Aidan enjoyed it much more this year now that he could get more involved. His favorite part was seeing Big Tex or 'Big Tech' as Aidan calls him. He was scared almost to tears the first time he heard him talk but that was all he could talk about on the way home.Aidan won a backpack for throwing the football through the hole in the sign. He was standing pretty close but actually threw it through by himself. You can see the ball inside the sign.Ride 'em cowboyAt the top of the Ferris Wheel.

Random Happenings

I am way behind on posting photos so here are some highlights from our fall so far...

The City Parks Dept hosted a family camp-out. We went on a night hike, made smores and slept in out tent all about two miles from our house. Aidan was quite a good camper.
