birthday celebration

We celebrated Brian's birthday after lunch with yummy chocolate cake, and then we had cake induced craziness this afternoon. Fortunately, it gave Meg enough courage to give the kneeboard a try. (The picture shows Daddy in tow to keep the kneeboard straight.)





Pumpkin Farm

We went to a local farm for a beautiful hike, a corn maze (which Scott mastered), a hay ride, and some you-pick-em pumpkins. The weather was great, and we had a nice hike, then we circled back for the hay ride to the pumpkin patch. Everyone enjoyed picking out pumpkins and lopping them off the vine. There was a fabulous wallow of mud near the place where you get back on the hayride... guess who could not resist it. We had two short people who could not resist the mud and one tall person who thought it was awesome and was very encouraging. :) Scott stayed fairly clean, but you can see muddy Meg below...which was really fun until she decided it was time to clean off, and there was no hose immediately available.  It became a bit disturbing to her and she needed a snuggly seat on Mom's lap for the hayride back to the barn, of course. As soon as we got back Brian found a hose and cleaned her up. Best one-liner of the day, "My got my leg back!"

first soccer game of the season

First soccer game of the season! Little bit warm out, but the team had a good time. Scott seems to really enjoy the goalie position. I love the look on his face in the first picture. And who wouldn't try their best wearing that cool goalie shirt? Meanwhile, Meg and Peyton were chilling on the sideline sharing Peyton's ipad and  Meg's apple...

Scott on the kneeboard

Scott has moved up from tubing to the kneeboard.  In one day he went from. "I'm not sure about this..." to "Hey, Dad, how can I get outside the wake?" He is doing great, and he LOVES IT!

Here's Meg - wearing her FAVORITE purple shorts, her purple soccer socks and her purple sneakers. Did I mention that she likes purple?
