Leaf Fun

Ellie and I have been reading a couple of books about the season fall and both of them talk about raking and jumping in piles of leaves. She wanted to do it, too, so we packed our rakes in the truck on Tuesday and went down the road to Eagle Creek Park in search of lots of leaves. We checked out our favorite playground and it could not have been a more perfect place to go! We made huge piles and the girls jumped and played to their hearts content. We stayed all the way until past dinner time and the girls left exhausted and their hair full of leaf bits...but boy was it fun!!












Josie loved playing in this little puddle, too.



All the deer starting coming out as we were leaving.

Ducks

The girls had a great time feeding the ducks while visiting their Grandma and Grandpa on Sunday!

Apple Orchard

Yesterday, we spent the day at Anderson Orchard in Mooresville. I so love that place! The scenery is absolutely breathtaking during this time of year... The weather was perfect and I had the best time with the best girls!



















This is the same orchard we visited last year and had such a wonderful time. Click here to see last years pictures!

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday, we spent a beautiful day at Russell Farms in Noblesville. There was so much more than pumpkins at this wonderful place! One of the many activities was a kid friendly corn maze that had hidden "treasures" (different seeds in wooden boxes) to collect and turn in for a prize. We all had fun searching and searching! Other activities included peddle tractors, putt-putt, farm animal encounters, music, hayrides and lots and lots of fun things for the kids to climb on or play in. Of course, we visited the pumpkin patch, too, where Ellie and Josie both picked out their pumpkins all on their own. Ellie picked a nice orange one just her size and Josie went right for two unique white ones- one big and the other a cute little one that she could carry all on her own. They had so much fun!

Fire Truck

Our neighborhood held it's annual cookout to raise money for our local fire department today. Ellie was happy to find her friends Katie and Maddie there!

Sweet Sisters

I am way behind on pictures, but we have been stuck home this week with both girls sick so I've finally gotten some time to start sorting through the last month's worth. I was happy to find that I have several of them actually playing and being sweet with each other!
