Harvest festival at Botanical Gardens

 

 

Picking pumpkins to paint

 

Corn maze



We had a great time at the Harvest Festival but ended on a dramatic note as Ava got stung by a bee as we were eating a snow cone.  Let's just say I was happy she didn't have a bad reaction (as dad is highly allergic), but there was crying for quite awhile and screams of pain - of course, we had to traipse across the whole gardens to pick up our painted pumpkins before leaving.... we were glad to get home!

Just a normal afternoon

 

Sam and Ava up to no good (and making messes).  Dad was working outside and they were making booby traps all over the house for when he came inside.

 

Gavin watching all the action from his perfect vantage point in Sam's doorway!

Sam recited "Wise Old Owl" for Mother Goose Day.

Saturday morning after being away from my little loves for four (long) days!!!

Hawks Game

 

We had free tickets to the Hawks last game so took advantage of the chance.  The night ended with fireworks and we had a great time.

 

 

McCall Bible Study trip

 

Gavin wants to be included SO BAD!!!

 

Bikes and Beach Time with Friends

 

Hanging out in our cabin.

 

We once again went to McCall with our Bible study group and had such a fun time.  We all hung out for dinner and walks and time at the beach and in town.  A special treat was the last night the older couples in our group planned a fun kids night with dinner, games and charades so us parents could have a little night out (that is such a rarity!) so much appreciated.

 

The kids had such a great time!
