The Start of Fall

Fall is probably my favorite season.  I love all seasons and am always ready for the season change with weather.  In my ideal world, January-April would be Spring, May-September would be Summer, September-November 30 would be Fall.  Winter would be the entire month of December with it lightly snowing every day.  It would be a pretty snow that just lightly dusted the ground until the week of Christmas.  Yeah, not sure that place exists, but I would love it if it did!  

Our annual trip to Apple Works was another one for the books.  We decided to go during the week this year and will continue that as long as we can!  I felt like we had the place to ourselves!!  


The kids enjoyed running around and seeing all of the pumpkins


The petting zoo was a favorite for both of them


Max enjoyed the slide this year with Daddy



Laney...no so much!  Last year, she went down by herself, but I think because Max went with Daddy, she had to.  Well, it wasn't the best idea.  Her foot got caught between the side of the slide and Daddy's booty.  As you can see in the picture, she came off the slide screaming and not able to walk.  We carried her the rest of the trip and ended the day visiting the Dr.  The Dr then sent us over the the hospital for x-rays.  The x-rays didn't show a break (thank goodness!), but showed some swelling to the tissues.  She said treat it like a sprain and give her ibuprofen and ice it.  Of course, she isn't a fan of icing it, but she realizes that is does make it feel better.  


She's doing better today, limping around though.  I'm hoping by the end of the weekend she will be doing much better.  Poor thing....


Her injury didn't stop her from wanting to sit on the tractor.  She loves this thing.  Every year, both kids fight over sitting on it.  Good thing other kids weren't in line this trip!


For some unknown reason, Benji loves the pumpkins with warts.  I think they're gross.  He had Laney kiss a warty pumpkin.  He's not right sometimes.....


Overall, our trip was great (minus the injury!)
