Fall Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

Well, we headed to Minnesota last Saturday with weather being a factor, but it cleared up enough for us to land. The beginning and end to our trip was less than desireable but the in between was great. On our last day Papa had a health problem and ended up spending the night in the hospital but he is doing fine now. Our trip home ended up with storms in Kansas so we had to divert and land and then drive home from Salina. But we enjoyed our time with all our family. We kept busy everyday by going to the Pumpkin Farm, museum, gymnastics, playing outside, school, eating out, reading stories and playing in general. Also Bruce and Shawn got to go hunt ducks in the cold, wetlands. They got 3 ducks. What a great change for us after such a very busy summer and fall. Everyone will be home in time for Christmas.

Playing on the balance beam in the hall. Isn't KSis cute in her tutu. She wears it everyday.

Fun in the corn box! A big hit with the kids.

Shelling the corn was fun to watch.

Everyone enjoyed feeding the bucket calves.

We got to take KGirl to her gymnastics practice. She isn't afraid of anything.

We had one fun day outside so I "talked" the kids into having a tea party outside which eventually grew into fixing food for all and having visitors over to eat with us at the Papon Inn.

We took Kman to the Ottertail Museum and he had a great time filling out his bingo card looking for all the cool artifacts throughout the museum. A first grade class came while we were there.

Kassidy loves movies that have to do with animals.
