Build A Bear Workshop

We went to Build a Bear Workshop with Joanna, Ellie, and Carter the day before they left. Ellie loved it!! She was able to pick out her bear, stuff it, give it a heart, give the bear a bath and also a name. After we made Ellie's bear "Tiara", we made a bear for Carter.

Carter knew just what to do.

Fall Part 2

We also went to a pumpkin patch while Joanna was here. The kids loved the playground more than anything else!!

They were all very fascinated with the haunted house. They would stand there and look at the displays for several minutes. Carter enjoyed it just as much as the girls!

Fall Happenings!

I love fall!! This fall has been so fun! I love the cold rainy days and the color of the leaves changing!! This past week my sister, Joanna, came to visit with her kids. We went to Eckerts Apple Orchard for a bonfire and hayride night. It was a lot of fun!!!

Oftentimes, we take the ferry that they have on the way to the apple orchard. This time we took it to avoid traffic. The kids usually get a kick out of it, but I think they were just to tired on this trip. John is winning over the hearts of the grandkids. They followed him everywhere he went.

Balloon Glow

Wow! This was a great night! Every fall they have The Great Forest Park Balloon Race in Forest Park. In the past we would be on the way home from picking apples, and, we would look to see if we could spot any hot air balloons. This year we decided to go down to Forest Park the Friday night before the race for their annual balloon glow. We drove down and met Catherine at the history museum there in Forest Park. We walked through the Katherine Dunham: Beyond the Dance exhibit. After the history museum, we went to dinner at Fitz's. We found a great parking spot for the balloon race. We set out among the huge crowd of people. It was neat watching all the balloons get set up! We had a great time. Unfortunately, it took us 1 and 1/2 hours to even get out of Forest Park. But we did make it home!! We will definitely be putting this on our calendar next year!!
