Time to Pick Some Pumpkins!

After apples, we moved across the field to the sunflowers and pumpkins. I let the kids pick out tiny pumpkins for painting and they also had to get one for their siblings. I think we ended up with 9...













Fall Apple Picking

I took Columbus day off to stay home with Nick and Avery because CDC was closed for a teacher in-service. Since we hadn't been to an apple orchard or pumpkin farm yet this year, I took the kids to Erie Orchard for a field trip. We had a great time! The kids picked a few norther spy apples for applesauce for lunch.

Ellyn and George Get Married!

October 11 was a beautiful day for a birthday wedding. Ellyn (who's birthday is 10/11) married George. It was a beautiful wedding at Nazareth hall. Almost all the girls from high school were able to make it to the wedding, including Gwen and Meredith.

The Whole Gang

From the last cross country practice - all the kids on the team. 



The CC Banquet

To celebrate the end of the cross country season, the team had a banquet. The kids all got individual trophies, pizza and lots of dessert. This is the pee-wee boys (or at least a majority of them). If Ben does CC next year, he will bump up to Minors and a 3/4 mile run. 





The Final Cross Country Meet 2015

The last cross country meet was a beautiful day at Maumee Bay State Park. Ben had a great final race. He came in 21st place, but had his best time of 3:29. It was a great end to the season!
