Fall Fun

We left Michigan just after Labor Day and made it to Michigan on a Friday afternoon and Bryn started school on Monday!  She was very excited to start, even though all the other kids had been there since August 11th :)  She had a wonderful first day of school!

We met up with the Graf girls at a park to play.

This fall we went to three Florida State football games

Bryn was more excited about this spear than the GameDay production!

 Less than 4 weeks later we headed back to Michigan 

for a long weekend to enjoy some fall weather.

Papa had set up for us all to go apple and pear picking one morning.

The kids had so much fun!   You would have thought they were picking candy off the trees.

And I am pretty sure we had an entire bag of fruit that had bites taken out of them...

 Don't worry, they were supervised!

Bresnan thought these owls were hilarious!   

 Hi Bud-dy

 Sweet girl

This summer we had planted a pumpkin in Florida, brought it to Michigan

 and planted it in our garden.  Bryn got to harvest it..

and Papa and Me even brought it to her in Florida so it made it back home!

Back in Florida we had dinner with our cousins and all the kids ended up in the tub together!

 Ryder, Bryn, Piper, and Bresnan

We headed to the pumpkin patch to buy our pumpkins!

 Bryn was eager to add her face to the scarecrow, and Bresnan does what his sister does.

 Bresnan liked all the BIG  pumpkins

 Bryn liked all the bumpy ones

 Excited little man!

 This is the best shot of the two of them…

One morning we painted pumpkins (naked of course!)

Bryn had a costume parade at school.  She was very happy to wear her costume, walk through all the parents, the elementary school, and church offices.

 We waited until Halloween to carve our pumpkins to  guarantee it 

wouldn't rot before the big day.  Florida problems!

 This has been Dad's job for the last two years :)

Here we go - Trick-or-Treat!

 I thought for sure he would suck on the pacifier and hate the goggles…

exactly the opposite!

 This girl is ready!
