Fall Family Fun!

Alan has been in full farming mode this fall, but the kids and I have been super busy too!  Where to begin?!
Colson had his very first field trip to Tanner's Orchard

Colson and his buddy Graycen

Kendall and Brooks tagged along too!

 

 

On October 5th, Livi and I went up to Chicago and ran in Comer Children's Hospital Race for the Kids.  We ran as a team in honor of my cousin's baby Nate who was born and passed away in August of this year.  It was so meaningful to run in his name.

Finny came with his Mom and Dad too!

She's ready to run!  Her first 1 mile race!

Spider-Finn

Such a special day.  Our team ended up #4 in fundraising-and we did it all in 4 weeks.  We also received the Team Mission award- I am so so happy to have been a part of that day!
The next week Colson, Kendall and I went with our neighbors to Radar Farms in Normal.  It's so cute!  There are so many things for the kids to do-they had a blast!  We will definitely be going back next fall.

Spider web crawl

They had 4 little play houses that were a post office, grocery store, etc.  SO fun!

 

Caterpillar tractor ride

Bouncey!

They have 2 small silos that have about 1 foot of corn to play in-the kids loved it!

This "tile slide" was fun for the boys

Real friends hold hands :)

 

 It was such a fun day for all of the kids, I think Livi would have fun there too! 
Daddy isn't the only one who is busy farming this fall!

The weekend of October 18th, my NICU had it's annual Small Wonders Walk to raise money for our Family Advisory Board, who then buys needed equipment/supplies for our NICU.  The big kids had fun with the balloons, bouncy houses, face painting, music and all sorts of other fun things!

 Kendall wasn't all that impressed though!

 I like to go and see our NICU graduates-it's nice to visit with some of the families and see how well the babies are doing!  We headed to lunch after with Kristin and Lizzie, goofy girls!

That evening we went to Wildlife Scary Park...again, Kendall was less than enthused about dressing up :)

Firefighter Colson

Cutest Spook there!

The best pic of all 3....so sad :)

Story time

We rode the Not So Scary Train ride too...it was supposed to be past the time when it was not scary, but the kids were fine.  We taught Colson just to roar back at the scary people....it might have been a mistake, he's still roaring at us all! We've been busy, busy bees and that doesn't even cover Halloween!  We've been having lots of fun!!
