Scarecrows

We went to Village Hall again to pick our favorite scarecrows. Dylan and Camryn had really been looking forward to it. We passed it everyday on the way to school. So I heard about it every day for a couple of weeks. There were some great ones again this year!

Apple Farm

We went apple picking at Eckerts with cousins. They have so much for the kids to do. We went to the pig races where Mark got picked. His pig won the race and he was awarded a pooping pig key chain which my kids loved. They had a train, slide, jumping pillow, rides and a haunted house. The apples we picked were delicious!

 

 

 

Camping

We spent a weekend camping at Sunpoint Resort in Piedmont, Missouri. We stayed in a cabin and the resort had miniature golf, tennis court and a basketball court. I use the term resort loosely because it was a little old and the kids thought the cabin smelled funny. But we had a good time anyway. We also went to the lake one afternoon. I didn't bring swimming suits because the pool was closed and I thought the lake would be too cold. I should have because the kids went fully clothed in the lake. They were such a mess from the water and the sand. But that was probably one of their favorite parts. It was fun to spend time together!

Madison's Birthday

Madison turned 9 in September. She had an American Girl Birthday Party with her friends. We decorated shirts for their dolls and watched Saige Paints the Sky. And of course had lots of yummy treats. She has such a fun group of friends! We also celebrated with family and she got everything she could ever want. She has been asking for a pet for a long time and dogs and cats are out of the question. So we got her a couple of gerbils. She was so excited and has been surprisingly responsible.
