King's Island again!

Natalie seriously loves going on the rides at King's Island, and she got another chance to go before the end of the season because they had a Halloween special going on back in October. We met up with a few of Julie's friends who all have kids around Natalie's age, and we all went on the rides together!

We also got to do a bit of trick or treating, pet some animals, go through a maze, and pick out our very own pumpkins! We can't wait to go back to King's Island next year!

Here's Natalie back on her favorite ride; the kiddie swings of death.


Natalie also got to ride a few rides with her friends. here she is enjoying the Swiper ride with Lindsey. They were both absolutely loving it.


Whoa, check out this pumpkin!

Wedding fun

Back in September, Grandma Ginny, Grandpa Steve, Aunt Rachel, and Uncle Nick came out to visit so we could celebrate a few birthdays and go to a wedding.

First, it was time to prepare for the wedding. What do you think of my new hat, Grandma?


Then we went to the wedding and hung out at the reception for a while



And then it was time to dance!




The next day we all got to hang out and celebrate 3 birthdays at once.





Thanks for coming everyone. We had a great time!

Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year, and Natalie still has a bucket full of candy to show for it. Natalie was very excited as Halloween approached, and was telling everyone about her Minnie Mouse costume that she had for her trick or treating adventure.

Just before Halloween we got to make our pumpkins. Natalie decorated a couple of pumpkins that were just her size, and Dad tried to make a Minnie Mouse face in one of the big pumpkins.



Hey, what's all that goop in there?


On Halloween night we got to go trick or treating! Natalie thought Eric's turtle outfit was cute too. She got to go trick or treating with her friend Allie who lives right behind us. They both quickly caught on to the fact that the more houses they went to the more candy she would get. They both had a great time!

Pumpkin Patch

Back in October we all took a trip to the pumpkin patch! We had quite a crew this year as Aunt Kathy, Aunt Connie along with Anna, Clint, and Maddie, and Grandma Ginny and Grandpa Steve all came along. There were a lot of pumpkins to choose from, and it was quite an adventure to head out into the fields and find the perfect one.




The hay rides were also a lot of fun!


If you ask Natalie about the trip though, the first thing she'll mention is the pumpkin cookie and apple juice she got for a treat after picking out her pumpkins.

Afterward, we all got to hang out at the house to eat lunch and play with Maddie. Everyone had a great time!
