Oh, a Pumpkin Picking we will go!

It could not have been a more beautiful day for such a fun fall adventure. We headed out this morning to pick pumpkins for the porch, (or really, was it for the photos?).

Another family had found the perfect spot to get some fun photos, so we promptly took their spot when they were done and this is where Avery had the most fun. She loves to "bounce" on her chair at home and took to doing the exact same thing on these pumpkins.

The tractor kept dropping people off and was noisy, and while it might look like she sees a field of pumpkins ahead or something, she is running in the OPPOSITE direction of the pumpkins, towards the tractor!

Apparently, dirty pumpkins taste good? Our friends joined us and Avery and Caelin had a fun time being carried around in their wheelbarrow.

Hopefully the day and the weather brought these same smiles to everyone else's faces! This must be what they say when it is so fun to have kids, you do all the great things that you probably wouldn't do without them and get to have fun too :)

The Little Gym

Our fall Saturday mornings start out with a LOT of fun. We decided to sign up the The Little Gym since we know around here it'll be rainy and cold (eventually - not today though!) and this will be a great way to get in that play and exercise time on the weekends!

Avery loves this place. Her favorite thing is probably when they bring out the balls to play with. And, they talk a lot about confidence in the kids and that when they are not with you on the red mat, it's parent/child together until age 3, that it is because they are feeling really secure and confident to go exploring on their own, which she does EVERY time.

The rings were a new apparatus this week, not sure about them.

Every week Avery finds this hand/foot board and is simply fascinated by these images.

See people, I am already so tall, I have this slam dunk thing down :)
