A Day With Avery

Sharon had a sick day last week so Nick and I stayed home. Avery came over and hung out with us for the day, too! And it was a bea-u-ti-ful day! We walked to the pond to feed the fish, played outside, rode bikes and took good, long naps! 

Snuggly With Mommy

After a long day of lots of outside time, it was time for a movie and snuggles on the couch.

A Hayride

Levis has hayrides every Saturday in the fall. Because we got rained out of our hayride at the pumpkin farm, we decided to let the boys do a hayride at Levis. The weather conditions were much better! The hayride took us around to see all the different bug sculptures. 

The Bugs

Last Saturday, after some much needed naps, we headed over to Levis Commons for a party thing they were having for a Bug Invasion display they have for the month of October. We got there late, just a bit before a lot of the fun stuff was closing. But the boys had a few minutes to play on the inflatables. Nick loves inflatables - they allow for maximum air time and big jumps. 

The Invasion display Levis has right now is a bunch of giant wooden bug sculptures throughout the center. Ben liked the spider. Note how he his making spider pinch gestures with his hands. There is also a dragonfly, ants, praying mantis, and a handful of others. They are actually pretty cool when you get up close and look at how the wood was used to create them. 

Driving the Farm Tractors

Once again, the fan favorite of the pumpkin farm - the tractor bikes! They had a really cool tractor and motorcycle trike that the boys really liked.

The Pumpkin Patch

Last Saturday we headed over to pumpkin farm. It was kind of rainy but warm. After being there for about 20 minutes it started to rain really hard, but the boys still enjoyed it. They feed the goats and chickens, played in the hay maze, played in the gigantic corn box (like sand, but corn) and checking out all the pumpkins. Once we figured out that the rain was not going to let up we headed over to Maumee Bay State Park for lunch. The boys had fun over there, watching the birds while we ate lunch. 

A Rarity

Ben fell asleep in the stroller while taking a walk the other day! That NEVER happens. We put him in bed and he stayed asleep the rest of the evening, too.

The Zoo with Grandma

Last Sunday we went to the zoo with Grandma while Aunt Sarah hung out with some friends from high school and the boys went golfing. It was rainy, but that is always the best weather for seeing the animals. The tigers were very active. The daddy tiger was roaring and making lots of noise, while the kids were wresting and playing with each other. We also saw the lion - you can never see the lions because they hide onto of the rock.

Swimming Time!

The boys went over to the hotel to go swimming with grandma and grandpa. It has been a while since they were swimming, but you wouldn't know it by the way they were all crazy in the pool!
