Fall Fun!

Today the hubs took the day off from work and we visited Burt's Pumpkin Farm. Then we headed over to the outlet mall (where Sam discovered how much fun a slide can be) and the Cheesecake Factory, yum!  Anyway, here are the photos (click to enlarge):

Great weather, great scenery, great pumpkins, great hayride and great company!

Day at the Creek

We had such a nice day today. Melissa (fellow homeschooler extraordinaire) and I took our kids to a local park for a picnic. They had a blast on this beautiful day. Here are the pics:

Jake didn't understand why he couldn't get naked, lol.  Had to explain a few things to him....  Settled on losing the shirt:

Love this one:

Sam loved it:

Finally got a look:

The kids were so funny.  They thought they saw jellyfish.  We discussed how jellyfish live in saltwater and the kids decided what they thought were jellyfish... were really WALNUTS!?!?  Too cute.  Thanks guys, for an awesome day!
