Pumpkin Farm

Even with the unseasonably warm weather, I decided to take Haley and Amber to the pumpkin patch. We had lots of fun looking at all the animals; goats, baby pigs, sheep, cows, and even a donkey. They had pony rides, a cow train, and an inflatable haunted house for the kids to walk through. We walked around all the pumpkins, and of course took pictures.

Summer Fun

Wow, this blogging is harder to do than I thought. I guess not the actually blogging just finding the time to do it. A lot has happened in the last month. We went to Grandma and Grandpa LaFave's for the weekend. We were able to visit with aunts and uncles that Earl hasn't seen in years, and some I have never seen. The kids had a great time seeing their cousins again. The following weekend, Labor Day weekend, we went camping with my parents to Indian River. They were going to walk the bridge on Labor Day, but decided against it. I was never going to walk in the first place, not so fond of heights. We also went to Barbeau that weekend to Chuck and Dawn's new house for Jonathan's 5th birthday party. A few days later was the day Haley had been dreading. The first day of school. Actually she did great, she waited for the bus with her friend Madison at daycare, when the bus came she ran up to the bus and climbed in and never looked back. Of course, the battery on my camera died just as the bus was pulling up to the driveway. Great picture of the girls waiting, none of them getting on the bus. Oh well, there is always next year. Oh, I also most forgot, we also had Haley's last soccer game thrown in there somewhere. She was great! The best she played all year. She was running after the ball and not even afraid when other kids were around. She still wasn't happy because she didn't kick a goal, but we are very proud of her. So anyway, I made a slide show to highlight some of the fun things we have done recently. Enjoy!

Fun Times

The Fair

Last Thursday Earl and I took Haley and Amber to the Midland County Fair. We had a lot of fun playing games, looking at animals and riding rides. Well, only Haley rode any rides. She liked them all except the last because it spun around in circles and she didn't like that. The race car ride is for my dad and brother, gotta love #24! hahaha

Horse Ride

We went to an O'Dell Family reunion at my Dad's cousins house and Haley got to ride a horse. Amber just got to sit and have her picture taken. Haley said the horse was too bumpy for Amber to take a ride. Amber did get to pet a soft bunny. Haley just loved riding the horse.

Family Picture

This picture was taken at the horticultural domes in Milwaukee.


Amber was having fun splashing in the kiddie pool at the hotel.

Milwaukee Trip

Haley had a blast went we went to Milwaukee for the weekend. She really didn't care if we went anywhere outside of the hotel pool. Both of the girls did really well with the really long car ride, maybe even better than the adults. We saw Lake Michigan, the Sears tower, some pretty flowers at the horticultural domes, and just had lots of fun. Hope you like the pictures.







The end of a very busy day.
