September Fun


We haven't been doing too much around here lately - just relaxing and enjoying the gorgeous fall weather!  We have been checking on our pumpkin vines and we have a few that will probably be ready by the end of October (hopefully).  This was our first attempt at growing our own pumpkins and I think it's gone pretty well.  At least we have a couple that may turn out ok!

This pumpkin we are calling our "great pumpkin," because it's the biggest one we have.  This will be Parker's pumpkin (at some point).  Hah! 


This little cutie is for our newest addition.  I told Brad it will probably be a pumpkin by the time she makes her debut into the world - hah!  We have 6 total, but they have just started to form their round shape.  Oh well, we are certainly having fun watching them grow!

Sunday we took Parker to Riverfest.  This is a local event held every year at the end of September and all proceeds go to help children in need.  We have never been, so we thought we would try it out.  There was a children's area with games, inflatables, a petting zoo, pony rides and a train ride, arts and crafts booths and food and entertainment.

This was actually our last picture we took before leaving - Parker was so worn out, he didn't even want to stand for the picture - hah!

There was a "Little Tike" area where the kids could play on the toys.

We all enjoyed the petting zoo area


Parker was really fascinated with "Kate" the sheep.  He just sat down beside her and watched her.


We liked this guy's hairdo!


This pig was my favorite

Brad took Parker on the pony ride - Parker loved it!


This was Parker's preferred mode of transportation.  It got hot quick and Parker was ready to eat!  After we ate some lunch, we walked around for just a little bit longer, then we all got hot and tired, so we headed home so Parker (and dad) could take a nap!
